Working on sustainable wood construction
With the project WOODCIRCLES, the AUAS, as a partner in a European consortium, is researching the large-scale use of waste wood in the construction sector.

Digital production for a sustainable world
How can advanced design and manufacturing technologies - also known as “digital production” - help address societal challenges? That question is the focus of the Robot Lab of the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences. By means of computational design, material innovation and robotic manufacturing, students, researchers and practice partners work together on challenges such as accelerating the circular transition and enhancing sustainability in the built environment.

Current projects
Circular wood applications for hospitality
In the Circular Wood 4.0 project, the AUAS is investigating the viability of creating hospitality interiors from residual wood, with the help of computational design and robotic production.
Reusing wood from housing renovations
How to give residual wood that is released during housing renovations a second life? That question was the focus of Circular Wood for the Neighborhood (CW4N). This involved using robots to make circular reuse of wood easier and more efficient.
