The research project "Large Scale Projects as Drivers of Innovation in Construction" is a cooperative project executed together with HafenCity University Hamburg. The aim is to gain profound insights regarding the role of megaprojects, such as the Elbphilharmonie or the Berlin Central Station, for innovation in the construction industry.
The crossdisciplinary research project is divided into the four sub-projects scrutinising the roles of project integration, customers, designers and the building itself. The sub-project relating to the clients wishes and competencies is executed at TIM, while the other three sub-projects are located at HCU.
Major interfaces with research at TIM exist in the fields of User Innovation and Innovation Processes.
