Mission of research and teaching

The CCLab research mission is to make significant contributions to the development of a new generation of innovative high-performance infrastructure systems. Research interests are focused on composite or hybrid materials and engineering structures with an emphasis on lightweight structures and advanced composite materials. Current research at the CCLab focuses on five research axes:

  • Material-tailored structural concepts
  • Connection technologies
  • System safety
  • Multifunctionality
  • Long-term performance


The mission of the teaching activities is to provide an education of the highest quality to students of architecture and civil engineering in the fields of structural engineering and composite materials. Since 1999, the CCLab teaching activities have been cross-disciplinary between structural engineering and architecture, and thus fit perfectly into the new philosophy of "Projeter Ensemble" or "Design and Build Together" of the ENAC school.
