Institute of Lightweight Structures and Conceptual Design (ILEK)

Gennaro Senatore’s experimental work on adaptive structures has been in a permanent exhibition at Institute of Lightweight Structures and Conceptual Design (ILEK), University of Stuttgart. The adaptive structure prototypes that were developed at University College London and Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) have been used to carry out further research as well as to disseminate the principles of reducing material and energetic impacts through smart technologies in order to rethink the way buildings and structures are designed.

Since 2017 Gennaro Senatore has been international correspondent member for Collaborative Research Center Adaptive Shells and Structures for Tomorrow’s Built Environment (SFB 1244) funded by the German Research Foundation.
