Prof. Moritz Dörstelmann

Moritz Dörstelmann is Professor for Digital Design and Fabrication (DDF) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and founding partner of the robotic construction company FibR GmbH.

His academic work investigates digital circular construction concepts at the interdisciplinary interface of research and teaching through explorative prototyping of innovative material systems and construction technologies on 1:1 scale in application-oriented demonstrator projects.
His construction company FibR realizes resource efficient fiber composite lightweight structures as load bearing structures, facades and interiors in architectural projects through computational design and robotic fabrication at industrial scale.

At the intersection of application-oriented academic research and research-oriented industrial practice Moritz Dörstelmann´s work shows how digital design and manufacturing strategies can be used to explore a novel architectural design repertoire and enable socially relevant solutions to reduce resource consumption and enable circularity in construction.
