DDU welcomes Tim Schumann as a new research assistant. His current research focuses on modular building systems and generative design. He studied architecture and building technology at Delft University of Technology, the University of Melbourne, and RWTH Aachen. In 2023, he completed his master's degree at the TU Delft Genesis Lab with the thesis “Encoding Building Products.” After completing his studies, he worked at digitales bauen – Part of Drees & Sommer, where he was involved in a wide range of projects in research and industry as a computational designer.

Oliver Tessmann will speak at the 'Deutsches Architektur Museum' on January 28, 2026, about the possibilities of architecture created from assembled elements.

DDU kicks off new research project „ZirKuS“, funded by DBU

Website shows more than 40 destroyed Jewish places of worship – launch on November 9

Destroyed synagogues in their former beauty: From November 9, more than 40 Jewish places of worship can be explored and admired virtually at https://virtuelle-synagogen.de. The new website provides the first overview of synagogue reconstructions that have been created over more than 30 years at the Department of Architecture at TU Darmstadt. Images, films, and panoramas of the virtual models are available, as well as information about the former synagogues. The focus is on Jewish places of worship that were destroyed by the Nazis in 1938.

Join this year’s BE-AM | Built Environment Additive – Manufacturing Symposium and Exhibition at the Formnext 2025.

On October 16, 2025, Oliver Tessmann will speak at plan A Networks about the most important areas of research related to generative AI and machine learning.

DDU welcomes Isabelle Gogolok as a new research assistant. Her work focuses on the digital reconstruction and visualization of destroyed synagogues in Hesse. Isabelle completed her Master of Science in Architecture at TU Darmstadt in 2025. During her studies, she developed a passion for digital tools for parametric design, 3D modeling, and visualization in the form of renderings. She gained practical research experience as a student assistant at DDU, among other places.
