HFT.Lab – Innovations-Labor an der HFT Stuttgart

With the HFT.Lab, a platform for innovations in the construction industry is being created in Stuttgart's city center. A special address for scientific dialog and knowledge transfer at a high level. A forum for cooperation and dialog between science, industry and the public.

The facilities and research results of the HFT have so far only been visited and perceived by urban society to a limited extent. A participative showcase, new creative spaces and new forms of flexible research and learning promote communication and direct exchange. With internal and external partners. Like this, we are part of the IBA'27 network since 2024.

To enable new participation formats and communicate HFT's expertise to the city and region, construction and structural actions are planned in three areas:

• With the area we understand the entire HFT campus site from Holzgartenstrasse to Schlossstrasse to Stadtgarten, including all buildings and the public space in between. The HFT campus should be perceived and revitalized as a whole. It should open up to and develop a radiant power into the urban society.
   
• The space includes the areas of the inner courtyard between Buildings 1 and 3, including the footbridge and the two lower courtyards. In the inner courtyard between Buildings 1 and 3, a unique field for experimentation and a high-quality place to spend time will be created.
   
• Thevenue includes the first floor zone of Building 1 with the two atriums and the cross-connection between the Stadtgarten and inner courtyard entrances. The first floor of Building 1 will be transformed into a flexible space and a connection to the Stadtgarten will be established.

Our team currently consists of four project planners, two student assistants and three people at professorial level as project and academic manager resp. coordinator who work closely together on the implementation and realization of the projects.

The tasks are to plan, structure and manage the actions. We also initiate new formats and communication channels. Finally, the research results for the HFT sustainability strategy must be prepared.

You can find us in Building 4, Room 3.07. Feel free to drop by and find out more.
