Architecture and Human Augmentation

The Chair of Architecture and Human Augmentation at ETH Zürich, founded and led by Prof. Daniela Mitterberger, investigates computational approaches that support close collaboration between humans and machines. 

The research focuses on adaptive digital fabrication processes and extended reality (XR) environments as instruments for design and production. Central themes include dynamic manufacturing workflows, digital twin systems, and XR-based frameworks, developed in dialogue with computational design and robotic fabrication.

By integrating perspectives from human-computer interaction, robotics, architecture, and construction, the chair explores how emerging technologies expand design agency and reshape processes in the built environment.
