RESEARCH NETWORK 3-1 – INTCDC FOR EXISTING BUILDING STOCK EXTENSION

Research Network 3-1 (2022-2025) 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.
