Lukas Kirschnick

Bauhaus-Universität Weimar

Lukas Kirschnick is a PhD-researcher working at the intersection of architecture and engineering, at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, Germany. His research focuses on the utilization of leftover round timber in ceiling constructions. As a research associate at Bauhaus University Weimar, he is the project leader of the "irreguLAB," funded by the "Freiraum Stiftung" in Germany.

This lecture will present the latest research findings on the use of round timber in construction using illustrative project examples and aims to give an impression of the diverse uses of round timber in construction and design. These have been developed as part of the interdisciplinary ‘irreguLAB’ project in collaboration with architecture, civil engineering and product design students, together with Prof. Dr. Thomas Pearce, Prof. Dr. Jan Willmann and many others.

The lecture is supported by the UB Office of International Education (OIE). Lukas Kirschnick, Global Research Scholar in Residence at the University at Buffalo, will also lead a workshop with Nick Bruscia’s Situated Technologies Graduate Design Research Studio.
