About

Franz Wirth is a leading researcher in digital fabrication and innovative concrete construction, with a focus on advancing automated and sustainable building technologies. His work bridges computational design and structural engineering, particularly through the development of digitally fabricated, non-standard concrete structures that challenge traditional construction methods. His most-cited paper, "Digitally Fabricated Innovative Concrete Structures" (2018, 16 citations), co-authored with Herrmann, Mainka, Lindemann, and Kloft, was presented at the 35th ISARC and outlines foundational research at the Institut für Tragwerksentwurf. This work has influenced the integration of robotics and formwork-free techniques in concrete architecture. Wirth’s contributions are pivotal in reducing material waste and enabling complex geometries in construction, earning recognition within the digital building community. His research continues to shape the future of automated, resource-efficient concrete fabrication, making him a key figure in the evolving field of digital construction.
