UMPRUM is hosting a lecture by Swiss professor Fabian Scheurer, an expert in digital technologies and prefabrication in construction. His lecture will focus on parameters, processes, and production in digitally scaling construction.
From fluid parametric models of complex freeform architecture to the rigid realities of standard construction, this talk traces a journey through the limits of digital design. It reveals how the ambition to scale construction led to an unexpected insight: often, we do not lack the tools, but the products themselves. Ultimately, “Parametrics, Processes, Products” argues that the future of scalable construction is not a question of technology—but of mindset.
Fabian Scheurer studied informatics with subsidiary studies in architecture, and began his professional career as an assistant in the CAAD department at the Technical University in Munich. Appointments followed as a software engineer in Munich, as well as a consultant for new media in Zurich. He was a research assistant at the CAAD Chair at the ETH Zurich, where the idea to set up his own company evolved. Fabian Scheurer has been a managing partner at Design-to-Production since 2007, alongside which he has taught as a guest lecturer at the Architectural Association School of Architecture (AA, London), the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalunya (IAAC, Barcelona), amongst others. Since 2023 he is professor for “Digital Building Technology and Fabrication” at Hochschule München University of Applied Sciences.
