André Borrmann is Professor of Computing in Civil and Building Engineering at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and Director of the TUM Georg Nemetschek Institute - AI for the Built World, TUM's central institute for artificial intelligence in the built environment. His research develops AI methods across the life cycle of buildings and infrastructure: multi-agent frameworks built on large language models for generative design, deep learning for interpreting point clouds and images, machine learning for construction process analysis, and learned world models for robotized construction. He is spokesperson of the DFG Research Unit 5672 on the information backbone of robotized construction and originator of the Fabrication Information Modeling (FIM) concept. Borrmann studied civil engineering at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar and received his doctorate from TUM in 2007. His awards include the SCP Excellence in Collaboration Award (2026), the Konrad Zuse Medal of the German Construction Industry Federation (2024) and the Smith Prize (2022) of the European Council of Computing in Construction. Since 2024 he has been listed among the world's top 2% scientists in the Stanford University/Elsevier ranking.
