Chair description

The Chair of Architectural Informatics at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) is part of the Department of Architecture, focusing on Computer-Aided Architectural Design (CAAD). Our teaching and research emphasize the integration of digital technologies into architectural practice through interdisciplinary education and experimental approaches.

Our research spans from Building Information Modeling (BIM) to artificial intelligence in architecture, including digital twins for urban planning, participatory design platforms, and computational methods for architectural decision-making. The chair offers courses in computational design tools, interactive environments, and urban simulation, bridging theoretical foundations with practical applications.
