The construction research at the TU Dresden is carried out by professorships and institutes from different disciplines. 17 institutes and professorships within the framework of the Construction Research Centre that are assigned to the faculties of architecture, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, computer science and economics as well as the school of "construction and environment" and "engineering sciences" work together with the goal of joint teaching, research and development. There is a large number of thematic cross-sectional fields on which cooperative construction research is already taking place between the organizational units and should be further expanded in the future. These cover inter alia the research and development of building materials to entire buildings and settlements from constructive, building climatic, energetic, informatic, architectural, psycho-sociological and management perspective.
