About
Patrick Schroeder is a leading researcher in sustainable construction materials, with a primary focus on textile reinforced concrete (TRC) and its application in free-form architectural elements. His major contribution lies in advancing the manufacturability of double-curved concrete components by systematically investigating how different binding types of textile reinforcements influence drapability—a critical factor for creating complex, lightweight structures without traditional formwork. His most-cited work, "Textile Reinforced Concrete for free-form concrete elements: Influence of the binding type of textile reinforcements on the drapability for manufacturing double-curved concrete elements" (2022, 7 citations), provides foundational insights into optimizing carbon and glass fiber textiles for flexible, sustainable building solutions. Schroeder’s research bridges material science and architectural design, demonstrating how TRC can reduce material usage and carbon footprint while enabling unprecedented geometric freedom. His work is particularly notable for addressing practical challenges in scaling TRC from laboratory prototypes to real-world construction, positioning him as a key innovator in the transition toward eco-efficient, high-performance concrete systems.
