Research Network 3 – IntCDC for Existing Building Stock Extension

Research Network 3 explores Co-Design-based development of methods, processes and systems for the extension of existing building stock. Construction in the space between or on top of existing buildings poses the challenge of a high level of adapt- ability to the typically complex context of built-up areas. The further densification of existing cities in the developed world constitutes a central task in order to satisfy the huge demand for inner- city living, to minimise the need for additional large-scale transport infrastructure and to reduce the environmental impact and land consumption of greenfield developments.

The IntCDC's Research Projects (RP) are grouped into Research Networks (RN), each of which brings together work on a specific topic. Within these networks, IntCDC researchers are working on a common central challenge, including a building demonstrator.

Further Information

On the website of the Cluster of Excellence IntCDC you will find an overview of all research activities. There you will find the Research Projects (RP) as well as a sorting of these into Research Networks (RN). Below you will find direct links to the research projects in the field of timber construction and projects related to timber construction.

In addition to the Research Projects (RP), the IntCDC conducts research in Associated Projects (AP) together with partners from industry and academia. Associated Projects are not funded by the cluster. More about the Associated Projects at digitize-wood.de.
