Too many construction projects get out of hand and cost more time and money than planned. But these problems should not exist. For digitization, robots and 3D printing open up new opportunities both in planning and on the construction site. How will we build in the future? This is what the "Xenius" moderators Emilie Langlade and Adrian Pflug at the Vienna University of Technology want to find out.

How will we build in the future? This is what the "Xenius" moderators Emilie Langlade and Adrian Pflug at the Vienna University of Technology want to find out. There, a small test house is used to research how to build houses with the natural materials of clay and straw, which also meet the most modern requirements. The two lay hands themselves and try to bring the freshly mixed clay as well as possible on a wall, which will later provide measurement data.
Before construction comes the planning: At the construction site of the Neckar bridge, the German railway in Stuttgart is testing a new method in which the building is built twice: first virtually, then in the real world. The special feature: The many actors involved have access to the current digital blueprint at all times. This prevents chaos on the construction site. In the Immersive Engineering Lab of the Fraunhofer Institute in Stuttgart, the "Xenius" moderators enter the digital blueprint of the Neckar Bridge via virtual reality and experience on the real construction site how digitization also saves time and money on site.
Will our homes eventually be completely removed from the 3D printer or built by robots? That could actually become reality. Namely, there are already some initial experiments: "Xenius" looks at how robots wall walls, exoskeletons make human construction workers stronger, and what unimagined possibilities of 3D printing with concrete enables the architects of the future.
