Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum at DIA 25 – Showcasing Digital Innovation at Hochschule Wismar

From July 4 to 6, 2025, the Faculty of Design at Hochschule Wismar hosts DIA 25, the university’s celebrated annual exhibition. This three-day event highlights the creative achievements of students in Architectural Lighting Design, Architecture, Product and Jewellery Design, Interior Design, Communication Design and Media, and Material Culture Design.

Taking place both on campus and throughout the city of Wismar, DIA 25 blends exhibitions, performances, presentations, and social gatherings, making it a vibrant highlight of the academic year.

This year, Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Rostock is proud to be a featured partner at the event. Together with Hochschule Wismar, we present a selection of cutting-edge digital projects co-developed by students, faculty, and industry experts. Our presence at DIA promotes dialogue and exchange on the role of digitalisation in the construction industry, offering insights into how digital tools are shaping the future of design and building.

DIA 25 is more than an exhibition – it is a platform for collaboration, bringing together innovation, creativity, and community engagement.

AG Mitteldeutschland and Ostsee Meeting at Hochschule Wismar – Collaboration and Innovation in the Era of Digital Transformation

On 4 and 5 June, the AG Mitteldeutschland und Ostsee Working Group met at Wismar University of Applied Sciences – a gathering of partners from the Rostock SME Digital Centre, Wismar University of Applied Sciences and other centres.

After the official welcome by Prof. Martin Wollensak, the participants discussed ways to deepen cooperation between the centres. They were then given a tour of Wismar University, including the roof terrace of the Faculty of Design, the laboratories of the MV Construction Competence Centre, the Digital House and the model-making workshop in Building 7c. In addition to technical insights, participants discovered interesting and entertaining facts about the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Wismar's old town. In the evening, there was an opportunity to continue networking over dinner at the Brauhaus am Lohberg.

The second day began at InnovationPort at Wismar Harbour – a hotspot for forward-looking research and innovation. The event began with a short introduction by Prof. Martin Wollensak, followed by intensive discussions on the future of digital projects, the strategic integration of artificial intelligence and the identification of priority topics for upcoming initiatives. Opportunities for further developing the seminar programme in order to respond to the current challenges facing companies were also discussed.

The meeting not only strengthened regional cooperation, but also sent a clear signal for digital transformation in the construction and building industry. Strengthened by the intensive exchange and a shared vision, all partners are motivated to continue working together on effective, future-oriented projects that will have a lasting impact on the industry.

Wie Digitalisierung Bauen schneller und einfacher macht

Am 25. April 2025 fand in Wismar die 20. Norddeutsche Holzbautagung statt. Thema war der Gebäudetyp E und wie dessen Impulse für die Bauwirtschaft geleitet und genutzt werden können.

Vorträge von namhaften Referentinnen und Referenten aus dem Bereich Architektur und Gebäudeplanung, insbesondere Holzbau und zirkuläres Bauen zeigten anhand von Beispielen aus der eigenen Praxis, wie das nachhaltige und zukunftssichere Bauen mit Holz funktionieren kann.

Da digitale Tools im Bereich der Vorfertigung und des seriellen Bauens von grundlegender Bedeutung sind, ist die Hochschule Wismar mit dem Projekt DIGIBAU_MV am Puls der Zeit und erforscht, wie Digitalisierung dabei helfen kann, Bauen einfacher zu machen.
Aus dem Projekt DIGIBAU_MV wurde die Mobile Demonstrationswerkstatt vorgestellt – Sie zeigt den mit digitalen Hilfsmitteln vorgefertigten Messestand und den Roboterarm, welcher die Montage im seriellen Bauen veranschaulicht.
