On Feb 12, 2016 the award ceremony for the German Design Award took place at the Messe in Frankfurt (a.M.). The Landesgartenschau Exhibition Hall in Schwäbisch Gmünd, which is the demonstrator building of our collaborative research and development project "Robotics in Timber Construction", received a special mention for its "innovative demonstration of new methods for the digital planning and robotic construction of lightweight wooden structures" by the German Design Council.
Congratulations to the team and our supporters!
