“…This is also due to the fact that the innovative approach implemented and its strong interdisciplinary character has led to further development while the building was being planned. The demonstrator thus works not only as a test platform but also serves to develop methods and processes for the design of adaptive buildings (Leistner et al, 2020).…”

“…Essential for the successful design of such a unique and innovative building has been the integration of all stakeholders and disciplines (including mechanical engineers and system dynamics) since the early project stage. While conventional design processes are often architect-centred and linear, the design of D1244 was an iterative, non-linear process where team interaction was of paramount importance (Leistner et al, 2020). In order to reduce the amount of limiting restrictions and laws, the building is not designed for a specific usage (e.g.…”

An interdisciplinary research team of the University of Stuttgart has been working extensively since 2017 on the development and integration of adaptive systems and technologies in order to provide solutions for a more sustainable built environment. An experimental 36.5 m tall high-rise building, called D1244, was designed and completed in 2021 to show the potential of adaptive structures and facades as well as to verify on a real scale the developed systems and the related numerical predictions. The building was designed to offer a flexible experimental platform: each component is dismountable so that structural as well as facades elements can be replaced with new ones introducing new functionalities to be investigated. The structure is currently equipped with twenty-four hydraulic actuators that are installed in the columns and diagonal bracers. Strain gauge sensors and an optical tracking system are employed to monitor the state of the structural system. This paper describes the design and construction of the adaptive tower as well as the preliminary experimental testing on different scaled structural prototypes. The research work on these prototypes provided relevant information for the final set-up of the high-rise building. An outlook on future research, including the planned first structural testing phase and the implementation of adaptive façade systems, is included at the end.

“…Integrated architectural design facilitates merging of individual knowledge and interdisciplinary research-based knowledge, while enabling new knowledge inquiry and acquisition at various design stages that form closed-loops of the development process. During this process, the design team works in iterative loops, given that local changes might influence the global design and vice versa [40,41]. In principle, there is no fixed scale at which the design process is essentially to be developed, while all design parameters and stages are interdependent.…”

In the last decade, various types of transformable building structures have been developed, such as deployable tensegrity, scissor-like and origami-inspired systems, as well as reconfigurable rigid-bar linkage and adaptive compliant structures. The development of the systems owns to advances in material design and kinetics, while aiming at an improved sustainability of the built environment. Their conceptualization and investigation have been enabled through associative parametric design and numerical analysis facilities that meanwhile provide robust digital visualizations and numerical analysis models. In principle, responsive building structures are capable to adapt to changing functional, loading, or environmental conditions. At university level, the integrated architectural design that involves an integrative development of the building form, functions and technical system parameters is increasingly enriched by performance-based design approaches through interdisciplinary experimentation and design-driven research, i.e., 'integrated interdisciplinary design', for the achievement of efficiency, sustainability and technological innovation in architecture. The paper discusses related influencing modes and preliminary design results of an integrated interdisciplinary approach driven by aspects of modularity, flexibility, transportability, deployability, adaptivity and interactivity, as well as their implications towards a framework of related research. The design projects presented have been supervised by the authors in recent years at the University of Cyprus and the University of Stuttgart. In all cases, the design methodology followed enables students to consider related morphological, functional and structural requirements, while being exposed to transformable building structures as related to aspects of materiality, functionality, sustainability and aesthetics.

“…Each element can be replaced with newly developed adaptive systems, thus allowing a flexible testing and validation of different technologies and materials over the coming years. Wichtige Voraussetzung für die erfolgreiche Planung des Demonstrators war die konsequente Fokussierung auf eine integrale Planung, bei der sämtliche betroffenen Fachdisziplinen möglichst frühzeitig einbezogen wurden [2]. Somit ergänzten neben den für Hochbauten klassi schen Planungsdisziplinen Architektur, Bauingenieur wesen, TGA und Elektroplanung auch Vertreter aus an deren Disziplinen wie Maschinenbau und Regelungstech nik das Planerteam.…”

Adaptive Gebäudehüllen und Tragwerke sind ein möglicher Weg hin zu mehr Ressourceneffizienz im Bauwesen. Eine aktive Manipulation der Geometrie und des Tragwerkverhaltens ermöglicht es, Spannungsverteilungen zu optimieren, Verformungen zu reduzieren und Schwingungen zu dämpfen. Adaptive Gebäudehüllen wiederum können sich an wechselnde Bedingungen im Innen‐ bzw. Außenbereich anpassen und besser auf Nutzerbedürfnisse eingehen als herkömmliche Systeme. Adaptivität bedeutet die Manipulierbarkeit der Gebäudehülle oder des Tragwerks – und erfordert daher Aktuierung, Sensorik, Steuerungstechnik und Regelungskonzepte. Das übergeordnete Ziel der Adaptivität ist eine Minimierung des Material‐ und Energieverbrauchs sowie eine Reduktion der mit dem Bauwerk verbundenen direkten und indirekten Emissionen von Treibhausgasen. Das Konzept der Adaptivität wird seit vielen Jahren an der Universität Stuttgart erforscht. Seit 2017 sind diese Arbeiten im interdisziplinären Sonderforschungsbereich SFB 1244 zusammengefasst. Zur Verifizierung der gesammelten Erkenntnisse wurde auf dem Universitätscampus in Stuttgart‐Vaihingen Anfang 2021 der Demonstrator D1244 errichtet – das weltweit erste adaptive Hochhaus. Das ca. 36,5 m hohe Gebäude dient als multifunktionale Experimentalplattform, in dessen Stahltragwerk 24 hydraulische Aktoren integriert sind. Jedes Bauteil kann einzeln entnommen und gegen neu entwickelte adaptive Systeme ausgetauscht werden. Der Demonstrator erlaubt in den kommenden Jahren eine flexible Erprobung und Validierung unterschiedlichster Technologien und Materialien im Bereich des Tragwerks und der Fassade.
