Life

Menges studied architecture at the Technical University of Darmstadt and at the Architectural Association in London. He was then unit master at the Diploma School and studio master in the Emergent Technologies and Design Graduate Programme at the Architectural Association.

After a professorship at the HfG Offenbach, he was appointed to the University of Stuttgart in , where he founded the Institute for Computational Design and Construction (ICD).^[1] From to , he was also a visiting professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. Menges has been Vice Dean for Research at the Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning since and spokesperson for the DFG-Cluster of Excellence EXC Integrative Computational Design and Construction for Architecture (IntCDC) since ^[2]

At the ICD, Menges is researching innovative, sustainable construction methods that are made possible by digital planning methods and robotic fabrication processes.

The aim is to be able to build significantly faster with significantly less material in the future while understanding technological innovations in construction as an opportunity for more liveable and high-quality architecture.

Achim menges biography sample Menges is being honored for his interdisciplinary research on digital planning methods and robotic manufacturing processes for construction, both of which make building more resource-efficient and sustainable.
