Content

During the Hackathon@Staalbouwdag, held during Staalbouwdag 2023 (steel construction day), multidisciplinary design teams compete against each other in parametrically designing the optimal steel structure.

Motivation: AI tools are rapidly evolving, and the construction industry can greatly benefit from these tools to improve project execution. However, it is still unclear how to best implement these resources. Therefore, during this edition of the hackathon@staalbouwdag, we are taking the first steps together to design structures using AI.

Challenge: Optimize your design and integrate an AI application into your design process to reduce environmental impact and improve sustainability. Calculate and communicate the environmental performance of your design.

Participants

Each Hackathon team consists of a minimum of four members, including at least one architect, one engineer from a consulting firm, one detail engineer from a steel construction company, and one student. The team that delivers the best design during the Staalbouwdag wins the Hackathon@Staalbouwdag.

We are looking for participants for the Hackathon@Staalbouwdag who are:

• Architects
• Structural Engineers
• Detail engineers
• Students
