FLEX is an interdisciplinary research group of around 20 members, active in the field of applied building research at HTWK Leipzig. Since 2014, architects, civil and industrial engineers, as well as wood technologists and computer scientists have been working together under its umbrella on new solutions at the interface between academically driven, mostly digitally based planning processes and craft-based construction processes.
The aim is to develop system-innovative approaches that respect the procedural nature of building while unlocking the potential of digitally supported prefabrication processes for construction that must necessarily be individually defined. The focus of the research lies on digitally based design, planning, prefabrication, and construction using wood, engineered wood products, and natural building materials.
