As part of the knowledge transfer at the Cluster of Excellence IntCDC and together with the University of British Columbia, we are organizing a hackathon in the field of digital prefabrication of timber construction. Companies such as Blumer Lehmann, Intelligent City, Renggli, Strong by Form, Egoin and timberleicht will introduce themselves and provide insights “under the hood” of their processes, from which a problem will be formulated. The participants will then work in small groups with mentors from industry and research to develop solutions to the challenges in the digital design and prefabrication process and present them to a jury of peers and research staff.
The challenges will be announced soon. Blumer Lehmann is preparing a challenge for CLT curved – which you can watch in advance here. Be curious!
The teams with the best solutions can win prizes in various categories: The “Industry Award”, the “Research Award” and the “Innovation Award” are presented by digitize wood in the form of material prizes or non-cash prizes, which are subject to earmarked use. The prizes are endowed with a total of 12,000 euros.
