________________________________________________________________________________________
Dr Dagmar Reinhardt is a registered architect, researcher and educator, and a principal of reinhardtjung (www.reinhardtjung.de), a research-based architecture practice that has been widely published, and received numerous recognitions and awards for affordable and multi-generational residential works. The practice pursues architecture through research-led design works, industry collaborations and consultations, and international design competitions. reinhardt_jung’s work has been widely published (Frame, Mark, Detail), and awarded numerous prestigious prizes (including the Nomination for Design Price by German Design Council, Frankfurt (2015) for FNS Apartments, the prestigious ‘MAX 40’ prize of the German Architects’ Association (2010); and the LBS Prize ‘Golden Haus’ for Jones House (2009).
Reinhardt’s research work extends architectural performance and performativity towards design research and cross-disciplinary practice. Her research explores the way in which architectural performance can be informed by simulation and feedback with acoustic, structural or constructive criteria, and thus provide higher quality and more sensitive, human-centric spaces. It focuses on the intersection and integration of architecture, acoustics, structure, robotics, fabrication, material and constructions constraints into design and interdisciplinary collaborations. Reinhardt investigates opportunities for leveraging robotic fabrication methods to adapt geometry, materiality and construction methods within design technology, so novel solutions become available for the difficult relationship between human labour and construction automation in the building trades. Research findings are extended to research-led design studios and shared in conference discussions, design exhibitions and industry applications.
Reinhardt was Co-Chair of the Rob|Arch2016 Robots in Architecture, Art and Design (www.robarch2016.org) and has lead substantial industry and state-government funded projects on new robotic applications for workspace scenarios, and for safer and healthier construction work environments. Her upcoming book on ‘Design Robotics’ will combine generative design, robotic fabrication, timed materiality, and spatial programming and bridge between architecture, social, collaborative and creative robotics.
