An der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar gibt es vielfältige Antworten auf die Fragen nach der Position der Ingenieurausbildung am Markt und deren praxisnahe Ausrichtung, die bei einem attraktiver gestalteten Studieneinstieg beginnen, sich über ein transparenteres und mit diversen Wechsel- und Abschlussszenarien versehenes Studienmodell fortsetzen, und die schließlich mit einem Spektrum an Ausbildungselementen abgerundet werden, die den Studenten dazu befähigen sollen, kompetenter und nachhaltiger am Berufsmarkt Fuß zu fassen. Der Verfasser hinterfragt die Notwendigkeit neuer Impulse für das Studium, sucht Wege zur Erhöhung der Attraktivität des Einstiegs in das Studium sowie berufs- und praxisorientierten Lernens, stellt das Thüringer Y-Modell eines veränderten Studienablaufs mit der Wahlmöglichkeit zwischen Master- und Diplomabschluss vor.
Nur durch Aufträge entsteht das Potenzial, die hochwertigen und modernen Produkte, Verfahren und Systeme auch erfolgreich und vielfach in die Realität umzusetzen. Deshalb sind auch im traditionellen Bauwesen die Mechanismen des Marketings für die Akquisition zu analysieren und hinterfragt der Verfasser das Bild von Baubetrieben als kompetente Anbieter für alle Phasen des Bauens vom Baustoff bis zur Inbetriebnahme eines schlüsselfertigen Objektes. Systemanbieter bereiten die Basis für eine innovative und vernetzte Arbeitsweise.
Am 25. März 2010 veranstaltete die Professur Baubetrieb und Bauverfahren im Rahmen der jährlich stattfindenden baubetrieblichen Tagungsreihe gemeinsam mit der Arbeitsgruppe „Unikatprozesse“ in der Fachgruppe „Simulation in Produktion und Logistik“ (SPL) im Rahmen der Arbeitsgemeinschaft Simulation – ASIM einen ganztägigen Workshop mit dem Titel: „Modellierung von Prozessen zur Fertigung von Unikaten“. Viele Bauprozesse sind dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass sie Unikatcharakter besitzen. Unikate sind durch prototypische Einmaligkeit, Individualität, vielfältige Randbedingungen, einen geringen Grad an Standardisierung und Wiederholungen gekennzeichnet. Das erschwert die realitätsnahe Modellierung zur Simulation sogenannter Unikatprozesse. Dieser Besonderheit widmet sich die überwiegende Zahl der Tagungsbeiträge, die in diesem Band widergegeben sind.
Poland is not situated in any seismic region of the earth, however there are still areas were underground mining is being conducted. In these areas, so-called 'paraseismic tremors', are very frequent phenomena. In the situation when a building examination is realized in order to define its safety, it is necessary to make a complete analysis, in which an influence of tremors should be included. To decide if a building is able to carry out any dynamic loads or not, it is necessary to compute its dynamic characteristics, i.e. natural frequencies. It is not possible using any standard techniques. After diagnosis a building in situ by an expert, computer techniques together with specialized software for dynamic, static, and strength analyses become a suitable tool. In this paper a special attention was paid to a typical twelve-store WGP (Wroclaw Great Plate) prefabricated building, concerning special type of joints. During dynamic actions these joints have a decisive influence on building's behavior. Paraseismic tremors are especially dangerous for these buildings and can be the reason of pre-failure states. It can be difficult and very expensive to prepare laboratory investigations of the part of a building or of a separate joint; therefore the computer modeling suitable to investigate behavior of such elements and whole buildings under different kinds of loads was used.
>CyberCity< ist ein Konzept, das durch ein virtuelles Abbild der räumlichen Realität einer Stadt (Berlin) eine uns bekannte Wahrnehmungsumgebung als Orientierungs- und Navigationserleichterung bereitstellt, um über diesen virtuellen Browser möglichst schnell und anschaulich an eine gewünschte Information zu kommen. Dieses Umgebungsmodell ist auch als Simulationsmodell für die Visualisierung stadträumlicher Beurteilungen neuer Projekte, verkehrstechnischer Massnahmen und ökologischer Belastungen geeignet. Insbesondere ist es als Orientierungsumgebung für die Telepräsenz über die Kommunikationsnetze gedacht, die über die virtuellen Repräsentanten (Avatare) eine besondere gesellschaftliche Brisanz erhält.
Interactive visualization based on 3D computer graphics nowadays is an indispensable part of any simulation software used in engineering. Nevertheless, the implementation of such visualization software components is often avoided in research projects because it is a challenging and potentially time consuming task. In this contribution, a novel Java framework for the interactive visualization of engineering models is introduced. It supports the task of implementing engineering visualization software by providing adequate program logic as well as high level classes for the visual representation of entities typical for engineering models. The presented framework is built on top of the open source visualization toolkit VTK. In VTK, a visualization model is established by connecting several filter objects in a so called visualization pipeline. Although designing and implementing a good pipeline layout is demanding, VTK does not support the reuse of pipeline layouts directly. Our framework tailors VTK to engineering applications on two levels. On the first level it adds new – engineering model specific – filter classes to VTK. On the second level, ready made pipeline layouts for certain aspects of engineering models are provided. For instance there is a pipeline class for one-dimensional elements like trusses and beams that is capable of showing the elements along with deformations and member forces. In order to facilitate the implementation of a graphical user interface (GUI) for each pipeline class, there exists a reusable Java Swing GUI component that allows the user to configure the appearance of the visualization model. Because of the flexible structure, the framework can be easily adapted and extended to new problem domains. Currently it is used in (i) an object-oriented p-version finite element code for design optimization, (ii) an agent based monitoring system for dam structures and (iii) the simulation of destruction processes by controlled explosives based on multibody dynamics. Application examples from all three domains illustrates that the approach presented is powerful as well as versatile.
The optimization of continuous structures requires careful attention to discretization errors. Compared to ordinary low order formulation (h-elements) in conjunction with an adaptive mesh refinement in each optimization step, the use of high order finite elements (so called p-elements) has several advantages. However, compared to the h-method a higher order finite element analysis program poses higher demands from a software engineering point of view. In this article the basics of an object oriented higher order finite element system especially tailored to the use in structural optimization is presented. Besides the design of the system, aspects related to the employed implementation language Java are discussed.
This paper describes a couple of new truss structures based on fractal geometry. One is the famous Sierpinski Gasket and another is a fractal triangle derived by means of applying a process forming leaves of a cedar tree using M. F. Barnsley’s contraction mapping theory. Therefore a pair of x-y coordinates of an arbitrary nodal point on the structures are generated easily if IFS(Iterated Function System) codes and a scale of them are specified. Structural members are defined similarly. Thus data for frame analysis can be generated automatically, which is significant if the objective structure has complex configuration. Next analytical results under vertical and wind loadings in Japanese Building Code are shown. Here members are assumed to be timber and to have cross section of 15cm×15cm. Finally authors conclude that geometrically new truss structures were developed and automatic data generation for frame analysis was attained using IFS. Analytical results show they contribute to saving material when compared it with King-post truss.

TRANSFORMING TACIT KNOWLEDGE
(2011)
Sabine Ammon studied architecture and philosophy at the Technische Universität Berlin. Study and research visits led her to the University of London, Harvard University and ETH Zürich. Furthermore, she practised building design as a freelance architect. Her dissertation “Wissen verstehen. Perspektiven einer prozessualen Theorie der Erkenntnis”, Weilerswist 2009, develops a theory of knowledge, based on the philosophy of symbols. In her current research project she explores the epistemic dimension of architectural design processes.
SYSBAT - An Application to the Building ProductionBased on Computer Supported Cooperative Work
(2003)
Our proposed solution is to enable partners of a construction project to share all the technical data produced and handled during the building production process by building a system through the use of internet technology. The system links distributed databases and allows building partners to access remotely and manipulate specific information. It provides an updated building representation that is being enriched and refined all along the building production process. A recent collaboration with Nemetschek France (subsidiary company of Nemetschek AG, AEC CAD software leader) focus on a building product repository available in a web context. The aim is to help building project actors to choose a technical solution that fits its professional needs, and maintain our information system with up to date information. It starts with the possibility to build on line building product catalogs, in order to link Allplan CAD entities with building technical features. This paper presents the conceptual approaches on which our information system is built. Starting from a general organization diagram organization, we focus on the product and the description branches of construction works (including last IFC model specifications). Our aim is to add decisional support to the construction works selection process. To do so, we consider the actor's role upon the system and the pieces of information each one needs to achieve a given task.
Humans are able to think, to feel, and to sense. We are also able to compute but not very well. In contrast, computers are giants in computing. Yet, they can not do anything else besides computing. Appropriate combinations of the different gifts and strengths of human and computer may result in impressive performances. In the 3-Hirn approach one human and two computers are involved. On the computers different programs are running. The human starts the machines and inspects the solutions they propose. He compares these candidate solutions and finally decides for one of the alternatives. So, the human makes the final choice from a small number of computer proposals. In performance-oriented chess, 3-Hirn combinations consisting of an amateur player and commer-cial software have reached world class level. 3-Hirn is a Decision Support System with Multiple Choice Structure. Such Multiple Choice Systems will be exhibited and discussed.
This study investigates the flow supplied by personalized ventilation (PV) by means of anemometer measurements and schlieren visualization. The study was conducted using a thermal manikin to simulate a seated occupant facing a PV outlet. Air velocity was measured at multiple points in the flow field; the collected velocity values were used to calculate the turbulence intensity. Results indicated that PV was supplying air with low turbulence intensity that was able to penetrate the convective boundary layer of the manikin to supply clean air for inhalation. The convective boundary layer, however, obstructed the supplied flow and reduced its velocity by a total of 0.26 m/s. The PV flow preserved its value until about 10 cm from the face where velocity started to drop. Further investigations were conducted to test a PV diffuser with a relatively large outlet diameter (18 cm). This diffuser was developed using 3d-modelling and 3d-printing. The diffuser successfully distributed the flow over the larger outlet area. However, the supplied velocity and turbulence fields were not uniform across the section.
Over the last decade, the technology of constructing buildings has been dramatically developed especially with the huge growth of CAD tools that help in modeling buildings, bridges, roads and other construction objects. Often quality control and size accuracy in the factory or on construction site are based on manual measurements of discrete points. These measured points of the realized object or a part of it will be compared with the points of the corresponding CAD model to see whether and where the construction element fits into the respective CAD model. This process is very complicated and difficult even when using modern measuring technology. This is due to the complicated shape of the components, the large amount of manually detected measured data and the high cost of manual processing of measured values. However, by using a modern 3D scanner one gets information of the whole constructed object and one can make a complete comparison against the CAD model. It gives an idea about quality of objects on the whole. In this paper, we present a case study of controlling the quality of measurement during the constructing phase of a steel bridge by using 3D point cloud technology. Preliminary results show that an early detection of mismatching between real element and CAD model could save a lot of time, efforts and obviously expenses.

Wahrnehmung und Verarbeitung von Ereignissen bei der verteilten Planung im baulichen Brandschutz
(2003)
Der Bauplanungsprozess ist durch ein hohes Maß an Kooperation zwischen Planungsbeteiligten verschiedener Fachrichtungen gekennzeichnet. Hierbei werden zum einen Planungen auf der Basis von Planungsinformationen anderer Planungsbeteiligter detailliert, zum anderen geben Planungen einzelner auch wichtige Rahmenbedingungen für die Gesamtplanung vor. Der vorliegende Beitrag beschreibt einen Ansatz zur ganzheitlichen Unterstützungen verteilter Planungen am Beispiel des baulichen Brandschutzes. Der Antrag trägt hierbei der verteilten und parallelen Planung Rechnung, wie sie heute bei der Planung großer und mittlerer Bauwerke angewendet wird. Die Verteiltheit wird nicht nur für die Planungsbeteiligten modelliert, sondern auch die einzelnen Planungsinformationen liegen im gemeinsamen Kooperationsverbund verteilt vor. Der Fokus dieses Beitrags liegt auf der Wahrnehmung von Planungsänderungen und Ereignissen während der Planung und die Verarbeitung dieser Informationen um eine durchgängige Planung zu gewährleisten. Dies wird zum einen durch das CoBE Awarenessmodell erreicht, mit dem Ereignisse erkannt und dem Informationsverbund zur Verfügung gestellt werden können. Zum anderen werden die Ereignisbehandlung und die darauf folgende fachgerechte Informationsverarbeitung mit Hilfe eines Multi-Agentensystems beschrieben.
Structural engineering projects are increasingly organized in networked cooperations due to a permanently enlarged competition pressure and a high degree of complexity while performing the concurrent design activities. Software that intends to support such collaborative structural design processes implicates enormous requirements. In the course of our common research work, we analyzed the pros and cons of the application of both the peer-to-peer (University of Bonn) and multiagent architecture style (University of Bochum) within the field of collaborative structural design. In this paper, we join the benefits of both architecture styles in an integrated conceptual approach. We demonstrate the surplus value of the integrated multiagent–peer-to-peer approach by means of an example scenario in which several structural engineers are co-operatively designing the basic structural elements of an arched bridge, applying heterogeneous CAD systems.
In order to minimize the probability of foundation failure resulting from cyclic action on structures, researchers have developed various constitutive models to simulate the foundation response and soil interaction as a result of these complex cyclic loads. The efficiency and effectiveness of these model is majorly influenced by the cyclic constitutive parameters. Although a lot of research is being carried out on these relatively new models, little or no details exist in literature about the model based identification of the cyclic constitutive parameters. This could be attributed to the difficulties and complexities of the inverse modeling of such complex phenomena. A variety of optimization strategies are available for the solution of the sum of least-squares problems as usually done in the field of model calibration. However for the back analysis (calibration) of the soil response to oscillatory load functions, this paper gives insight into the model calibration challenges and also puts forward a method for the inverse modeling of cyclic loaded foundation response such that high quality solutions are obtained with minimum computational effort. Therefore model responses are produced which adequately describes what would otherwise be experienced in the laboratory or field.
The p-Laplace equation is a nonlinear generalization of the Laplace equation. This generalization is often used as a model problem for special types of nonlinearities. The p-Laplace equation can be seen as a bridge between very general nonlinear equations and the linear Laplace equation. The aim of this paper is to solve the p-Laplace equation for 2 < p < 3 and to find strong solutions. The idea is to apply a hypercomplex integral operator and spatial function theoretic methods to transform the p-Laplace equation into the p-Dirac equation. This equation will be solved iteratively by using a fixed point theorem.
The research of the best building design requires a concerted design approach of both structure and foundation. Our work is an application of this approach. Our objective is also to create an interactive tool, which will be able to define, at the early design stages, the orientations of structure and foundation systems that satisfy as well as possible the client and the architect. If the concerns of these two actors are primarily technical and economical, they also wish to apprehend the environmental and social dimensions of their projects. Thus, this approach bases on alternative studies and on a multi-criterion analysis. In this paper, we present the context of our work, the problem formulation, which allows a concerted design of Structure and Foundation systems and the feasible solutions identifying process.
In this study we introduce a concept of discrete Laplacian on the plane lattice and consider its iteration dynamical system. At first we discuss some basic properties on the dynamical system to be proved. Next making their computer simulations, we show that we can realize the following phenomena quite well:(1) The crystal of waters (2) The designs of carpets, embroideries (3) The time change of the numbers of families of extinct animals, and (4) The echo systems of life things. Hence we may expect that we can understand the evolutions and self organizations by use of the dynamical systems. Here we want to make a stress on the following fact: Although several well known chaotic dynamical systems can describe chaotic phenomena, they have difficulties in the descriptions of the evolutions and self organizations.
We give a sufficient and a necessary condition for an analytic function "f" on the unit disk "D" with Hadamard gap to belong to a class of weighted logarithmic Bloch space as well as to the corresponding little weighted logarithmic Bloch space under some conditions posed on the defined weight function. Also, we study the relations between the class of weighted logarithmic Bloch functions and some other classes of analytic functions by the help of analytic functions in the Hadamard gap class.
In this paper, wavelet energy damage indicator is used in response surface methodology to identify the damage in simulated filler beam railway bridge. The approximate model is addressed to include the operational and surrounding condition in the assessment. The procedure is split into two stages, the training and detecting phase. During training phase, a so-called response surface is built from training data using polynomial regression and radial basis function approximation approaches. The response surface is used to detect the damage in structure during detection phase. The results show that the response surface model is able to detect moderate damage in one of bridge supports while the temperatures and train velocities are varied.
Mobile Software-Agenten für neuartige Funktionen und Nutzeffekte in intelligenten Gebäudesystemen
(2003)
Anwendungsbezogene Software innerhalb vernetzter Gebäude nimmt immer mehr zu. Neue Standards erlauben den einfachen Fernzugriff, um neue Services zu installieren oder um Updates aufspielen zu können. Zu diesem Thema wird der OSGi-Standard vorgestellt, der ein Management von Software während des Betriebs vornehmen kann. Außerdem nimmt die Netzlast der heterogenen Netze innerhalb und zu den Häusern stetig zu. Hier können mobile Softwareagenten ihre Vorteile gegenüber herkömmlichen, statischen Kommunikationsmechanismen hervorheben. Im folgenden Text wird die Integration solcher mobilen Softwareagenten in bestehende Standards intelligenter Häuser beschrieben und anhand des Innovationszentrum Intelligentes Haus Duisburg (www.inhaus-duisburg.de) beispielhaft erläutert. Nach der Einleitung wird in Kapitel 2 der aktuelle Stand der Technik beschrieben. Dabei wird vor allem auf den OSGi-Standard und die Technik der mobilen Softwareagenten eingegangen. Im Kapitel 3 wird stehen vor allem Voranalysen zur Fernwartung, Optimierungen von Regelungen und die Integration dynamischer Netzteilnehmer im Vordergrund, die durch die beschriebenen Mechanismen erleichtert werden. Im Kapitel 4 werden die Ergebnisse kurz zusammengefaßt und einen Ausblick gegeben.
This paper concerns schedule synchronization problems in public transit networks. In particular, it consists of three main parts. In the first the subject area is introduced, the terms are defined and framework for optimal synchronization in the form of problem representation and formulation is proposed. The second part is devoted to transfer synchronization problem when passengers changing transit lines at transfer points. The intergrated Tabu Search and Genetic solution method is developed with respect to this specific problem. The third part deals with headways harmonization problem i.e. synchronization of different transit lines schedules on a common segments of routes. For the solution of this problem a new bilevel optimization method is proposed with zones harmonization at the bottom level and co-ordination of zones, by time buffers assigned to timing points, at the upper level. Finally, the synchronization problems are numerically illustrated by real-life examples of the public transport lines in Cracow.
Fuzzy functions are suitable to deal with uncertainties and fuzziness in a closed form maintaining the informational content. This paper tries to understand, elaborate, and explain the problem of interpolating crisp and fuzzy data using continuous fuzzy valued functions. Two main issues are addressed here. The first covers how the fuzziness, induced by the reduction and deficit of information i.e. the discontinuity of the interpolated points, can be evaluated considering the used interpolation method and the density of the data. The second issue deals with the need to differentiate between impreciseness and hence fuzziness only in the interpolated quantity, impreciseness only in the location of the interpolated points and impreciseness in both the quantity and the location. In this paper, a brief background of the concept of fuzzy numbers and of fuzzy functions is presented. The numerical side of computing with fuzzy numbers is concisely demonstrated. The problem of fuzzy polynomial interpolation, the interpolation on meshes and mesh free fuzzy interpolation is investigated. The integration of the previously noted uncertainty into a coherent fuzzy valued function is discussed. Several sets of artificial and original measured data are used to examine the mentioned fuzzy interpolations.
A method of automatic maintenance of vibration amplitude of a number of mechanisms at given level, when exiting force amplitude is varied greatly is given. For this purpose a pendulum is attached to a mechanism through a viscoelastic hinge. Load of a pendulum can move along an arm and it is viscoelastic connected to it.
In the superelliptic shell joined to a circular cylinder bending stresses are absent when it is subjected to uniform pressure.Some geometrical characteristics have been found. Expressions for determining stresses in the shell crest(in the singular point of plane type) are suggested. The problem of a theoretical critical buckling load of an elongated shell supported by frames is studied. A critical buckling load for two shells with different specifications was found experimentally.
The design of engineering structures takes place today and in the past on the basis of static calculations. The consideration of uncertainties in the model quality becomes more and more important with the development of new construction methods and design requirements. In addition to the traditional forced-based approaches, experiences and observations about the deformation behavior of components and the overall structure under different exposure conditions allow the introduction of novel detection and evaluation criteria.

Long-span cable supported bridges are prone to aerodynamic instabilities caused by wind and this phenomenon is usually a major design criterion. If the wind speed exceeds the critical flutter speed of the bridge, this constitutes an Ultimate Limit State. The prediction of the flutter boundary therefore requires accurate and robust models. This paper aims at studying various combinations of models to predict the flutter phenomenon.
Since flutter is a coupling of aerodynamic forcing with a structural dynamics problem, different types and classes of models can be combined to study the interaction. Here, both numerical approaches and analytical models are utilised and coupled in different ways to assess the prediction quality of the hybrid model. Models for aerodynamic forces employed are the analytical Theodorsen expressions for the motion-enduced aerodynamic forces of a flat plate and Scanlan derivatives as a Meta model. Further, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations using the Vortex Particle Method (VPM) were used to cover numerical models.
The structural representations were dimensionally reduced to two degree of freedom section models calibrated from global models as well as a fully three-dimensional Finite Element (FE) model. A two degree of freedom system was analysed analytically as well as numerically.
Generally, all models were able to predict the flutter phenomenon and relatively close agreement was found for the particular bridge. In conclusion, the model choice for a given practical analysis scenario will be discussed in the context of the analysis findings.
30. Forum Bauinformatik
(2018)
Die Bauhaus-Universität Weimar ist seit langer Zeit mit dem Forum Bauinformatik eng verbunden. So wurde die Veranstaltung 1989 hier durch den Arbeitskreis Bauinformatik ins Leben gerufen und auch das 10. und 18. Forum Bauinformatik (1998 bzw. 2006) fand in Weimar statt. In diesem Jahr freuen wir uns daher besonders, das 30. Jubiläum an der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar ausrichten zu dürfen und viele interessierte Wissenschaftler und Wissenschaftlerinnen aus dem Bereich der Bauinformatik in Weimar willkommen zu heißen.
Das Forum Bauinformatik hat sich längst zu einem festen Bestandteil der Bauinformatik im deutschsprachigen Raum entwickelt. Dabei steht es traditionsgemäß unter dem Motto „von jungen Forschenden für junge Forschende“, wodurch insbesondere Nachwuchswissenschaftlerinnen und ‑wissenschaftlern die Möglichkeit geboten wird, ihre Forschungsarbeiten zu präsentieren, Problemstellungen fachspezifisch zu diskutieren und sich über den neuesten Stand der Forschung zu informieren. Zudem wird eine ausgezeichnete Gelegenheit geboten, in die wissenschaftliche Gemeinschaft im Bereich der Bauinformatik einzusteigen und Kontakte mit anderen Forschenden zu knüpfen.
In diesem Jahr erhielten wir 49 interessante und qualitativ hochwertige Beiträge vor allem in den Themenbereichen Simulation, Modellierung, Informationsverwaltung, Geoinformatik, Structural Health Monitoring, Visualisierung, Verkehrssimulation und Optimierung. Dafür möchten wir uns ganz besonders bei allen Autoren, Co-Autoren und Reviewern bedanken, die durch ihr Engagement das diesjährige Forum Bauinformatik erst möglich gemacht haben. Wir danken zudem Professor Große und Professor Díaz für die Unterstützung bei der Auswahl der Beiträge für die Best Paper Awards.
Ein herzliches Dankeschön geht an die Kollegen an der Professur Informatik im Bauwesen der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar für die organisatorische, technische und beratende Unterstützung während der Planung der Veranstaltung.
Eine neue, kopflose Gewalt hat den Imperialismus vergangener Zeiten abgelöst. Die neue Weltordnung, das »Empire«, überschreitet alle Grenzen unserer althergebrachten politischen Begriffe – Staat und Gesellschaft, Krieg und Frieden, Kontrolle und Freiheit. Das dezentralisierte und deterritorialisierte Empire beherrscht uns, indem es durch die Medien, die Technik und durch soziale Praktiken unmittelbaren Einfluss auf uns Menschen nimmt.
Architektur und Raumplanung haben sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten radikal gewandelt. Die alten, modernistischen Bestrebungen nach erschwinglichen Wohnungen und einer rationalen Organisation der Städte sind ebenso in den Hintergrund gerückt wie die postmodernen Obsessionen der Kommunikation, der Nutzerbeteiligung und des öffentlichen Raumes. Stattdessen stehen nun ästhetische und entschieden unpolitischere Belange im Vordergrund: Diskussionen zwischen einer kritischen und einer projektiven Praxis, zwischen Blobs und Kisten, zwischen Atmosphäre und Ornament.
Doch das ist noch lange nicht das Ende der Geschichte, wie im vorliegenden Band deutlich wird. Die Beiträge des 11. Bauhaus-Kolloquiums umspannen einen Zeitraum, der von der Gründung des Bauhauses in Weimar bis zur globalen Architektur unserer Zeit reicht, und verfolgen dabei die Entwicklung des Empires zurück, um gleichzeitig nach Konsequenzen und Alternativen zu fragen, denen die Architektur sich heute gegenübergestellt sieht.
Urban design played a central role for the European dictatorships during the 20th century, it served to legitimate the regime, to produce agreement, to demonstrate power, efficiency and speed, it communicated the social, as well as design projects, of the dictatorial regimes domestically and internationally, it tied old experts, as well as new, to the regime. Dictatorial urban design also played an important role after the fall of the dictatorships: It became the object of structural and verbal handling strategies: of demolition, of transformation, of reconstruction, of forgetting, of suppressing, of re-interpretation and of glorification. The topic area is, therefore, both historical and relevant to the present day. The discussion of the topic area is, like it or not, always embedded in the present state of societal engagement with dictatorships.
In order to even be able to discuss all of these aspects, different conceptual decisions are necessary. In retrospect, these may seem to many as self-evident, although they are anything but. Our thesis is that there are three methodological imperatives, especially, which allow an expanded approach to the topic area “urban design and dictatorship”. First and above all, the tunnel view, focused on individual dictatorships and neglecting the international dimension, must be overcome. Second, the differences in urban design over the course of a dictatorship, through an appropriate periodisation, should be emphasised. Third, we must strive for an open, flexible, but complex concept of urban design. The main focus lies on the urban design of the most influential dictatorships of the first half of the 20th century: Soviet Union, Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany, including the urban design of the autarky periods in Portugal and Spain.
After all, urban design is not just a product of specific historic circumstances. It is a form that continues to have long-term effects, which demonstrates its usefulness and adaptability throughout this process. The urban design products undoubtedly still recall the dictatorial rule under which they were created. However, they are more than a memory space. They are also a living space of the present. They can and should be discussed with respect to their spatial and functional utility for today and tomorrow. Such a perspective is a given for the citizens of a city, but also for city marketing, having marvellous consequences. Only when we do not exclude this dimension a priori, even in academic discussions, can we do justice to the products of dictatorships.
And finally, the view of the urban design of dictatorships can and must contribute to the questioning of simplified and naive conceptions of dictatorships. With urban design in mind, we can observe how dictatorships work and how they were able to prevail. In Europe, these questions are of the highest actuality.

Flächenmanagement in Hochschulen. Workshop zu Handlungsansätzen hochschulinterner Flächensteuerung
(2013)
Die Publikation dokumentiert die Beiträge des Workshops „Flächenmanagement in Hochschulen“ der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, Professur Betriebswirtschaftslehre im Bauwesen, vom 19.11.2012. Insbesondere für Akteure aus Lehre, Forschung, Hochschulverwaltung, Bau- und Liegenschaftsverwaltungen sowie Politik bieten die wiedergegebenen Vorträge theoretische und praktische Anregungen für das Vorgehen bei der Steuerung hochschulinterner Flächen.
Dokumentiert werden unterschiedliche Modi zur Steuerung der Flächenressourcen. Ziel ist es dabei, die liegenschaftspolitischen Rahmenbedingungen aufzuzeigen, von denen das Flächenmanagement abhängig ist. Mit der Auswertung einer deutschlandweiten Hochschulbefragung zum Flächenmanagement wird der Status quo hochschulinterner Flächensteuerung nachgezeichnet. Es wird zuerst ein Überblick gegeben, welche Ansätze zur Optimierung der Flächen-steuerung von Hochschulen möglich sind. Hochschulvertreter von zwei staatlichen und einer privaten Hochschule stellten praktizierte Handlungsansätze für einen ressourcenschonenden Umgang mit Flächen vor und arbeiteten die aus ihrer Sicht Erfolg versprechenden Steuerungsaspekte heraus. Zusätzliche Diskussionsimpulse für die Flächensteuerung an Hochschulen bieten die Dokumentationen von Praxisbeispielen aus anderen Bereichen. Es werden das Vorgehen bei der Flächensteuerung eines Chemie- und Pharmakonzerns mit umfangreichen eigenen Forschungsaktivitäten sowie Flächenoptimierungsmaßnahmen bei Büroflächen der öffentlichen Verwaltung vorgestellt.

Die numerische Simulation im Bereich des Schweißens und der Wärmebehandlung hat sich in den letzten Jahren beachtlich weiterentwickelt und bietet ein zukunftsweisendes und innovatives Arbeitsfeld für Ingenieure.
Tagungsbroschüre einer ersten gemeinsamen Veranstaltung der Staatlichen Thüringer Arbeitsschutzbehörden und der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar zum Arbeitsschutz auf Baustellen. Fachbeiträge zu Sicherheitsrisiken auf Baustellen, zum Unfallgeschehen bei Abbrucharbeiten, zu Absturzunfällen, zur Arbeitssicherheit bei Arbeiten in Gruben und Gräben, beim Tunnelbau, zur Umsetzung der Baustellenverordnung, zur Mechanisierung des Abbruchs und der Modernisierung von Plattenbauten sowie zum Menschen am Bau als "Risiko- und Hoffnungsträger".
Die Fachtagung richtete sich an Geschäftsführer, Projektleiter, Bauleiter und Projektsteuerer in Planung und Ausführung mit Beiträgen zum Nachtrags- und Änderungsmanagement am Bau, Workflow-Management in der Baupraxis, Integration von Informationsprozessen auf der Basis von Nemetschek Technologien sowie Kompetenzaufbau durch gezielte Weiterbildung.
Am 31. März 2008 veranstalteten die Professur Baubetrieb und Bauverfahren und die Juniorprofessur Theoretische Methoden des Projektmanagements der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar einen ganztägigen Workshop mit dem Titel: „Auf dem Weg zum digitalen (Bau-)haus-Bau“. Damit sollte die im Herbst 2007 an der Universität Kassel unter dem Titel „Simulation in der Bauwirtschaft“ begonnene Reihe von Workshops eine Fortsetzung finden. Der Schwerpunkt wurde dieses Mal auf die Simulation von Bauprozessen gesetzt – Simulation mit dem Ziel, Arbeitsvorbereitung, Bauausführung und Baustellencontrolling digital zu unterstützen.
The Bauhaus Summer School series provides an international forum for an exchange of methods and skills related to the interaction between different disciplines of modern engineering science.
The 2012 civil engineering course was held in August over two weeks at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. The overall aim was the exchange
of research and modern scientific approaches in the field of model validation and simulation between well-known experts acting as lecturers
and active students. Besides these educational intentions the social and cultural component of the meeting has been in the focus. 48 graduate and doctoral students from 20 different countries and 22 lecturers from 12 countries attended this summer school. Among
other aspects, this activity can be considered successful as it raised the
sensitivity towards both the significance of research in civil engineering
and the role of intercultural exchange.
This volume summarizes and publishes some of the results: abstracts
of key note papers presented by the experts and selected student
research works. The overview reflects the quality of this summer school.
Furthermore the individual contributions confirm that for active students
this event has been a research forum and a special opportunity
to learn from the experiences of the researchers in terms of methodology
and strategies for research implementation in their current work.

Hochschulwege 2015
(2017)
Die in diesem Tagungsband zusammengeführten Beiträge beschäftigen sich mit dem Spannungsfeld, das sich zwischen externen Förderprogrammen, Veränderungsprojekten und den Zielen, Strukturen und Bedingungen der jeweiligen Hochschule ergibt. In diesem Spannungsfeld kommt es unweigerlich zu Reibungen, da vorhandene Strukturen und Ziele in Konflikt mit neuen Vorhaben und Ideen geraten. Ein Teil der Projekte stellt allein durch ihr finanzielles Volumen und die daraus resultierende Wirkkraft die tradierten Verhältnisse zwischen Lehre, Forschung und den wissenschaftsstützenden Bereichen in Frage und teils auf den Kopf. Die leitenden Fragen der Tagung und der hier versammelten Beiträge waren daher: Wie bringen Hochschulen ihre individuellen Ziele mit denen der bundesweiten Programme oder länderspezfifischer Fördermaßnahmen überein? Wie gehen Hochschulen mit ihren Projekten um? Wie vollzieht sich Veränderung an den Hochschulen? Und schließlich: Was bleibt von den Impulsen, die Projekte setzen? Die in diesem Tagungsband versammelten Beiträge geben darauf erste, auf dem bisherigen Erfahrungswissen basierende Antworten. Sie setzen sich intensiv mit den Faktoren auseinander, die den Erfolg von Veränderungsprozessen und Projekten befördern oder behindern können und leiten daraus Empfehlungen für Gestaltungsprozesse an Hochschulen ab.
