Eröffnung für erstes adaptives Hochhaus der Welt
After intensive planning and research work, the opening ceremony for the world's first adaptive high-rise building took place on the University of Stuttgart’s Campus Vaihingen on October 5, 2021, in the presence of Theresia Bauer, Baden-Württemberg's Minister of Science. The prototype has been built as part of the Collaborative Research Center 1244 "Adaptive Building Skins and Structures for the Built Environment of Tomorrow" at the University of Stuttgart, which is funded by the German Research Foundation. The demonstrator high-rise building (D1244) has also been selected as an IBA project and will be part of the International Building Exhibition 2027 StadtRegion Stuttgart (IBA`27). The faculty's Institute for Lightweight Structures and Conceptual Design (ILEK) was in charge of the planning.
A unique feature of this 12-story high rise building with a a height of approx. 37 m is the integration of active elements into the supporting structure and the facade. An interplay of sensors and actuating elements enable the structure to compensate for the vibrations in the tower caused by the wind using an intelligent control concept and dampen vibrations - making it possible to build a significantly lighter structure that would not have been possible without the adaptive design.
D1244 - world's first adaptive high-rise
The D1244 has been built as the world's first adaptive high-rise in 2021 at the University of Stuttgart. With 24 actuators and over 250 sensors, it is able to adapt to changing loads. This technology can save up to 50% of building materials when constructing high-rise buildings.
