The IDS Conference 2026, titled RESET\design\construction, will explore how these technologies are transforming workflows, material systems and production processes across the construction industry.

Join us on 17–18 November 2026 at the Schüco Campus in Bielefeld for two days of inspiring conference sessions, interdisciplinary exchange and forward-looking perspectives.

Rethinking design and construction


RESET\ is more than an update to existing practices. It is a call to rethink the relationship between digital design, physical production and construction.

The conference will bring together experts from architecture, engineering, research and industry to examine the transformative impact of artificial intelligence, automation and robotics on façade development and construction production.

The IDS Conference 2026 is organised by the Institute for Design Strategies (IDS) at TH OWL, in collaboration with the Building Envelope Alliance (BEA) and industry partners Goldbeck GmbH and Schüco International KG.
