Content

During the Hackathon@Staalbouwdag 2024, multidisciplinary design teams will compete in parametrically designing the optimal steel structure.

This design competition calls for creativity, collaboration, and, of course, (structural) knowledge. On this day, participants from across the sector will be brought together with a common goal. This year, teams are challenged to breathe new life into an existing building. How would you transform an existing building to add as much value as possible? Naturally, teams are encouraged to use smart digital tools, parametric workflows, and work with steel as much as possible. The teams will be supported by experts in the field: Walter Spangenberg (retired, formerly ABT), Michiel Visscher (RHDHV), and Krysztof Wojslaw (Learn Grasshopper).

Be inspired and get the chance to push the boundaries of structural design for a day. Register now for free, and we'll see you on October 15!

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.

• Architects
