About RESED

RESED stands for Resource Efficient Structural Engineering and Design. It is a research group within the Structural Engineering and Design unit at Eindhoven University of Technology.
Our group addresses environmental challenges in the built environment through innovative research aimed at enabling more sustainable construction.

We focus on sustainable structural design through:

1. Reducing building material use through design optimization.
2. Reusing materials and elements by upgrading their functions and applying modular building approaches.
3. Exploring renewable materials such as bamboo, bio-based fiber-reinforced composites, with a strong focus on mass timber structures.

Through research in these areas, we challenge traditional engineering and design practices by using innovative approaches to support a more sustainable construction industry.

Several times a year we will publish the RESED Newsletter.
You can register for the newsletter by sending an email to Arjan Habraken (a.p.h.w.habraken@tue.nl).

Within our atelier, all students share a strong commitment to innovation and sustainability. Throughout their projects, they maintain an article that is regularly updated to reflect the latest developments. At the conclusion of each project, the article is finalized, and a full report is produced, often accompanied by a summary paper.
