The University of Innsbruck stands for equal treatment and advancement of women. This applies in particular to academic positions and therefore we expressly encourage qualified women to apply.

I am thrilled to share our recent publication, a collaborative effort with esteemed colleagues Vincent Kuo, Ph.D. and Jussi Leveinen. As an architect, I am pleasantly surprised to have the opportunity to contribute to this unusual field and topic, where the interplay between various disciplines often presents challenges.
Under the lead of Vincent Kuo, we have harnessed the power of Artificial Intelligence through a natural language processing technique known as Latent Semantic Analysis.
What's remarkable is the consistent underestimation of this methodology. Our research demonstrates its capacity to identify domain-specific semantic connections using unstructured text data. The implications are profound, offering a transformative means of connecting competences across disciplines. Proposed method could open many doors to improved structures, processes and architectural spaces.

Every year, we are luckily surprised by our students from the Design of Structures course. Here are some of the projects that they explored, analyzed, digitally remodeled and built as scaled model with high degree of detail.

The XI edition of the conference on Textile Composites and Inflatable Structures (STRUCTURAL MEMBRANES 2023) was held on 02-04 October 2023 in beautiful Valencia, again collecting and disseminating state-of-the-art research and technology for design, analysis, construction and maintenance of textile and inflatable structures.
Together with Prof. Josep Ignasi de LLORENS DURAN (UPC, School of Architecture, Barcelona, Spain) I had the pleasure to chair the invited session IS02 Detailing – Case Studies – Installation Process. What an excellent line up of topics, viewpoints and personalities in this field - spanning from the "Adoration of the Joint" to "Santiago Bernabéu Stadium" and from "Seismic Loading" to "Pneumatics" and "Archeological Site Protection Structures".
Warm thanks to the authors and the speakers; Nic Goldsmith FAIA LEED AP, Bernd Stimpfle, Aleksandar Vucur, Ruy Pauletti, Ramirez Lares, Katja Bernert, Thomas Hermeking, and Fevzi Dansik.
