Great future for tiny houses in building research
September 17, 2024 | Fraunhofer Summer Camps brought to a successful close
Fraunhofer IVI can look back on the highly successful 2024 Fraunhofer Summer Camp held in Benediktbeuern. This year, the many attending students developed innovative ideas within the scope of the “Tiny-House Challenge – compact living as an experimental field for research on sustainable construction” and were able to prove their impressive creative abilities. Among them, Team „Nature Materials“, which received support from a Fraunhofer IVI employee, deserves special mentioning.
During the Summer Camp, all participants had the opportunity to engage with the subject areas of sustainability and materials development. Under the guidance of experienced Fraunhofer employees, they designed concepts for future-oriented living that have the potential for practical application.
„It was impressive to see how much of their creativity and commitment the participants invested into their projects,” explains Harald Gross of Fraunhofer IVI. „We are proud to make a contribution to future-oriented thinking. “
The Fraunhofer Summer Camp provides a valuable platform for the interdisciplinary exchange among students and promotes the transfer of both know-how and ideas between research, education, and industry. Fraunhofer IVI will continue to support initiatives such as this in order to develop innovative solutions for current challenges.
