232 pages

Digital data is becoming increasingly important in relation to building materials and materials in architecture and urban planning. In six chapters, the four experts Michael Hensel, Bob Geldermans, Defne Sunguroğlu Hensel, and Milica Vujovic cover the spectrum from data and materials to the question of availability and industrial production, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things with scientifically sound contributions. They show how it is possible to find tailor-made solutions to urgent questions such as building material interactions, ageing processes, circularity, urban mining, and global needs with advancing digitalization.
