Elisabeth
Endres works in practise and research on the interface of architecture and
technical systems and their integration in building structures. She studied
architecture at the universities of Kaiserslautern and Munich, afterwards she
was a research assistant in the chair of Bauklimatik and house technology of
the University of Technology of Munich. Since 2013 she is a project manager at
Hausladen and as a doctoral candidate of the University of Technology of Munich
member of the Internationally Graduate School for Science in engineering. She
has teaching missions in the academy of the pedagogic arts Munich, and the
colleges of Wismar and Salzburg.
In the course of the
decreasing availability of fossil fuels and the resulting need for action, new
approaches have been followed in the construction industry in recent years. The
optimization of the building envelopes and the use of technical systems represent
an essential adjustment factor.
This development of new building materials,
technologies and planning tools offers a variety of possible solutions, but the
number of failure increases with growing complexity. Lack of success and no
longer controllable planning, implementation and operating processes require a
rethink towards simple solutions through holistic designs.
In the development
of building concepts, IB Hausladen understands "low-tech" less in the
sense of "no tech" than in the sense of robustness against uncertain
boundary conditions and develops strategies between passive and active
components in the building design.
