About
Simon Aicher is a leading researcher in timber engineering, with a focus on advancing sustainable and circular construction practices. His work centers on developing innovative structural systems for multi-storey timber buildings and lightweight segmented timber shells. Aicher’s major contributions include pioneering a new concept for column-to-column connections in multi-storey timber structures, validated through numerical and experimental investigations (2023, 5 citations), which addresses critical challenges in tall timber construction. He also explores circular construction through modular, segmented timber shells that enable relocation and robotic fabrication, as demonstrated in his 2025 study (1 citation). This work highlights the potential for lightweight, free-form timber structures that are both structurally efficient and reusable. Aicher’s research bridges structural engineering, digital fabrication, and sustainability, offering practical solutions for reducing the environmental footprint of the built environment. His achievements include advancing the use of timber in high-performance, adaptable building systems, positioning him as a key contributor to the future of eco-friendly architecture and engineering.
