About

Philipp Eversmann is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of computational design, robotic fabrication, and sustainable construction, with a particular focus on timber and bio-based building materials. His work has significantly advanced the field of automated large-scale timber assembly, most notably through his highly cited 2017 study on robotic prefabrication of timber structures, which has garnered 120 citations and helped establish a roadmap for industrialized, precision-driven wood construction. Alongside topology optimization strategies for timber space-frames, Eversmann has demonstrated how algorithmic design and robotic manufacturing can be seamlessly integrated to produce structurally efficient, architecturally complex systems. In recent years, his research has expanded into emerging sustainable materials, exploring mycelium composites reinforced with wood veneer as low-carbon alternatives to conventional building products, work that has attracted growing scholarly attention with over 40 citations. His investigations into additive timber manufacturing — including robotic winding, continuous fibre placement, and novel wood-based filaments — collectively reframe material efficiency as a central design principle. Through projects like 3DWoodWind and HOME, Eversmann bridges material science, environmental responsibility, and digital fabrication, making him an increasingly influential voice in the future of circular, bio-based construction.
