Alumni

Konrad Graser obtained his diploma in architecture at ETH Zurich in 2004. Since then his focus has been on digital technology in architectural design with special interest in its integration in the physical building process. He was the project manager of DFAB HOUSE from 2015-2020. This building-scale demonstrator of digital fabrication in construction was initiated by the NCCR Digital Fabrication.
Konrad completed his PhD work at the chair of Innovative and Industrial Construction at ETH Zurich in 2022 on the topic of organizational models for the implementation of digital fabrication in the AEC industries.
Konrad is now Lecturer of Digital Building Processes and Management at ZHAW, and is leading the project coordination of the Tor Alva in Muglens.
