In January 2020, the Priority Program 2187, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), started. It brings together around 50 researchers from the fields of structural engineering, production engineering and engineering informatics. The objective of the research collaboration is to reduce construction times to a few days or weeks. Therefore, individual structural elements are divided into scalable modules. The modules are precast in stationary serial production, based on the flow production principle, and just assembled on site. Fabrication is derived from flow production concepts as...
