In the first project Lost & Found, we reconstruct significant buildings that no longer exist in virtual space – walkable, immersive, and technology-based. The interactive models demonstrate how technical knowledge, design, and societal change are interconnected. This creates a new form of remembrance and learning – accessible, visual, and vibrant.
The Digital Museum for the Art of Engineering
reveals what seems to be lost – and tells the
story of civil engineering as a cultural practice.
The project is led by the Ingenieur Baukunst e.V., an association dedicated to raising public awareness of the achievements of engineers in construction and their cultural and artistic contributions to the built environment.
Founded to make the invisible visible: the creative, design, and cultural power of the art of engineering. For more information, visit www.ingenieur-baukunst.de
A fresh and open approach to building culture, memory, and technological fascination. At the heart of our work is not only the visual reconstruction of lost structures, but also their discursive recovery: each building becomes a starting point for broader questions – about progress and loss, technology and aesthetics, memory and innovation.
The art of engineering is a cultural practice. We build bridges between research and fascination – for a growing community eager to rediscover the history of building.
The Digital Museum for the Art of Engineering provides the solid foundation and inspiration for our long-term goal: a physical Museum for the Art Engineering with a permanent location. This real-world institution will firmly establish the cultural and technical significance of structural engineering – as a vibrant space for encounter, education, and innovation.
The Digital Museum is a significant cultural space that already brings the art of engineering to life and makes it accessible to all
We are already working with public cultural funding bodies – these alliances form the foundation of our success so far. We are seeking collaborations with institutions, initiatives, and individuals who share our vision – across cultural, academic, and societal spheres – and who wish to support us on the path toward establishing a physical Museum for the Art of Engineering.
We see the art of engineering as a shared cultural heritage that remains alive through diverse partnerships.
