Eddy Widjaja

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Eddy Widjaja is a Professor of Structural Engineering and Constructive Design at Beuth University of Applied Sciences Berlin. He holds a Doctorate in Engineering from Technical University of Berlin (1997) and has held academic positions at TU Berlin, Berlin University of the Arts, and HTWK Leipzig. His research spans didactics in structural design, wide-span and hybrid structures, rammed earth reinforcement, and strip foundation behavior.

His recent publications focus on structural planning fundamentals, including mathematical principles, load transfer, and material-specific design for steel, concrete, and timber. A 2014 Beuth Teaching Award winner, he emphasizes critical thinking and material application over pure calculation.

Key structural projects include the Kadon Parish Church (Vietnam, 2016), Gando School (Burkina Faso), and collaborations with firms like Heinle Wischer and Partner and Wayss & Freytag Ingenieurbau AG. His teaching integrates cross-material fundamentals and holistic planning.
