Please find here a reference list of events that are related to membrane structures. The lectures are categorised by Conference, Symposium, Workshop or Seminar. We used this kind of filter to distinguish:

Conference and symposium are similar events where speakers come together to give their opinions on membrane structures.
Symposium can be described as a smaller conference that is often held in a single day with a lesser number of delegates.
At a "Seminar" lecturers present a concept and technique to discuss with participants.
At a "Workshop" all the elements of a seminar are included  plus "hands-on" eg. physical modelling or even 1:1 models.

The postgraduate Master´s Program on "Lightweight Membrane Structures" combines the pioneering spirit of the early developments made by Frei Otto and his team with the current and future building technologies. Click here for more details.

Seminar:

Time: May 16th 2024 - May 16th 2024

Location: TU Darmstadt, El-Lissitzky-Straße 1, 64287 Darmstadt, Germany

The Formfinder lecture will be part of the lecture series on "Form. Space. Structure. - Structural Design" seminar, where we delve into the world of structural typologies beyond the conventional engineer's perspective. Through the lens of built examples, we explore the intricate balance between form and function in structural design. Prof. Tichelmann and Manuel Calanni Billa are seeking a project that emphasizes form-based design akin to membrane structures or the iconic Berlin Olympic Stadium, albeit on a smaller scale. This session will also feature a special presentation on "Formfinder" software, showcasing its capabilities through various examples. Prepare to be inspired by the possibilities of structural aesthetics and efficiency.

Dr Christian Schranz with the institute is the host of this lecture. The lecture focuses on membrane architecture - and the engineering and integration of flexible PV membrane modules for energy generation. The eccentric design language of membrane construction is also the lecture's content—a differentiated view of different solution approaches to realise membrane architecture. The individual solution approaches are illuminated and analysed using examples. Finally, new technologies of the "membrane façade" (climate envelopes, PV module integration) are compared with conventional buildings. The presentation is in English and held by Dr Robert Roithmayr with the Formfinder Team. Students can visit the lecture ONLINE / REMOTE LEARNING to participate.

Workshop:

Time: Jun 15th 2020 - Jun 17th 2020

Location: Roma / Accumoli, ONLINE ZOOM, 02011 Accumoli, Italy

As part of the seminar, with the help of the new software: "Strategyfinder", opinions, wishes and suggestions of the Accumolis stakeholders on the challenges and future developments of their city were obtained and analyzed. In the area of architecture, it became apparent that the stakeholders want a sustainable, light, playful, beautiful and flexible structure for future buildings. Wood should be used as a locally available resource and there should be a connection to the historical center. On the basis of these results, the participants in the seminar under the direction of Dr. Robert Roithmayr, head of the “Lightweight Membrane Structures, MEng” course at the Department for Building and Environment at Danube University Krems, design examples for the future Accumolis construction method.
Il seminario vorrebbe contrastare le conseguenze del terremoto, in

connessione con la costruzione di strutture temporanee, e introdurre un

metodo di costruzione innovativo ed ecologico. Questo metodo di

costruzione consente un‘elevata qualità architettonica attraverso

trasparenza e leggerezza. Questo metodo di costruzione ben studiato è

sostenibile ed ecologico e dovrebbe quindi essere implementato ad

Accumoli. Pertanto, dovrebbe essere creato un esempio di costruzione del

futuro. Nel primo passo, questo prende la forma di un seminario di 4

giorni. L‘evento si svolge nell‘ambito della „Scuola di ricostruzione di

Accumoli“.

Location: Danube University Krems / Vienna, Dr.-Karl-Dorrek-Strasse 30, 3500 Krems / Vienna, Austria

Recognize the Future:    Nov. 4th 2019 a new group start!

A historic building or epic landscape, natural feature or contemporary man-made structure are
all capable of inspiring a "moment of recognition".
For most observers, this moment is temporary and transient, creating perhaps a sense of wonder
and curiosity.
For others, including building and design professionals, such moments offer unique opportunities.
Increasingly, the challenge is to rapidly develop these inspirational moments into creative designs
and architectural realities which are economically viable, environmentally sustainable, as well as
aesthetically attractive.

Target Group are Individuals working in the field of Lightweight
Membrane Structures and related fields ranging from Design and
Architecture, Engineering, Business Administration, Manufacturing,
Installation, Textile Industry and also Related Sciences.

Location: Danube University Krems / Vienna, Dr.-Karl-Dorrek-Strasse 30, 3500 Krems / Vienna, Austria

Recognize the Future:

A historic building or epic landscape, natural feature or contemporary man-made structure are
all capable of inspiring a "moment of recognition".
For most observers, this moment is temporary and transient, creating perhaps a sense of wonder
and curiosity.
For others, including building and design professionals, such moments offer unique opportunities.
Increasingly, the challenge is to rapidly develop these inspirational moments into creative designs
and architectural realities which are economically viable, environmentally sustainable, as well as
aesthetically attractive.

Target Group are Individuals working in the field of Lightweight
Membrane Structures and related fields ranging from Design and
Architecture, Engineering, Business Administration, Manufacturing,
Installation, Textile Industry and also Related Sciences.
