Innovative konstruktive Entwürfe sind in zunehmendem Maße auf die interdisziplinärere Zusammenarbeit zwischen Architekten, Ingenieuren und der Bauindustrie angewiesen. GAM.12 - Structural Affairs beobachtet das Feld der Kooperationen in den dynamischen Arbeitsabläufen der Gegenwartsarchitektur. Neue digitale Methoden, Werkstoffe und Fertigungstechniken erfordern eine Beteiligung von immer höher spezialisierten Akteuren am Planungs- und Bauprozess: sie beeinflussen und prägen das jeweilige architektonische Entwurfsprogramm von der Entwurfsidee über die Ausführungsplanung bis hin zur Konstruktion.
