Jan Knippers is since 2000 head of the Institute for Building Structures and Structural Design (ITKE) at the University of Stuttgart and a consulting structural engineer. His interest is in innovative and resource-efficient structures at the intersection of research and development and practice. He was dean of the Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning in Stuttgart and is since 2019 Deputy Director of the Cluster of Excellence IntCDC \u201cIntegrative Computational Design and Construction for Architecture\u201d. In IntCDC he co-developed a robotic winding process for fibre composite systems that enables novel lightweight building systems as used in the Fibre Pavilion at the Bundesgartenschau 2019 in Heilbronn or the Maison Fibre at the Biennale Architettura 2021 in Venice. Another interest are advanced timber structures for segmental shells or multi-storey buildings. In addition to this he designed the Central Axis for EXPO 2010 in Shanghai, one of the largest membrane structures of the world, and the compliant fa\u00e7ade for the Thematic Pavilion at EXPO 2012 in Yeosu, South Korea.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
