IMS BAUHAUS® Basic Course "Archineer® in Membrane Structures"

Since 2006, our institute has been carried out several programmes in Membrane Structures.  Well known is the unique Master and Archineer programme, which was taking place at the Anhalt University of Applied Sciences in Dessau-Rosslau. More than 350 architects and engineers have been trained so far in this special field of construction. Under the direction of Prof. Dr. Robert Off, participants learned to design, calculate, detail, build and maintain lightweight textile structures.

Training conditions around the world have changed rapidly since the pandemic. Therefore, we have decided to adapt to the situation and offer our courses online from now on. This will allow people all over the world to easily participate in our programs and learn how to master membrane and lightweight structures.
