Reinhard König
Lecturer
Reinhard is Junior-Professor for Computational Architecture at the Bauhaus-University Weimar and Principal Scientist at the Center for Energy at the Smart and Resilient Cities competence unit at the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT) in Vienna. In addition, he acts as Co-PI in the Big Data Informed Urban Design group at the Future Cities Lab (FCL) at the Singapore ETH Centre. His current research interests are applicability of multi-criteria optimization techniques for planning synthesis, cognitive design computing and correlations of computed measures of spatial configurations with human cognition and usage of space.

David Neudecker
Guest Lecturer
David is designer and developer of the interactive urban data visualizations not only in the context of smart cities. He has over 6 years of experience with allowing teams materialize their visions in some of the most influential companies and research institutions around the globe (Coop-Himmelblau, Future Cities Laboratory, the ETH Zürich’s research unit in Singapore). In the role of design leader, he has driven planning and design support tools to successful implementation in Southeast Asia's mega-cities.

Martin Dennemark
Lecturer
Martin is a research assistant at the Chair of Computer Science in Architecture at the Bauhaus-University Weimar in Germany. Since 2016, he is part of the interdisciplinary research project Integrated Infrastructure between Weimar and the EiABC, Addis Abeba University. The project focuses on digital planning and participation strategies for emerging cities in Ethiopia. Martin holds a bachelor degree in architecture at msa | münster school of architecture and graduated in the field of urbanism at TU Delft. Besides his research he is co-founder of form follows you. His main interest lays in easing stakeholder negotiation and participation with the support of computational planning tools.

Ondrej Vesely
Guest Lecturer
Ondrej is a freelance researcher at Austrian Institute for Technology in Vienna, Austria. He's also a student of architecture currently finishing his bachelor diploma at VUT Brno, Czech Republic. In 2016 he has spent 2 semesters on Bauhaus Universität Weimar as an exchange student, working mostly on projects lead by the Chair Informatics in Architecture (InfAR). His main research interest is development of computational analysis and parametric modelling tools for urban planning.
