Dr.
Konrad
Graser
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 and project coordination for the Tor Alva in Muglens until 2025. These building-scale demonstrators of digital fabrication in construction were both initiated through research at 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.
