Research Pavilion

The project is part of a successful series of research pavilions which showcase the potential of novel design, simulation and fabrication processes in architecture. It was planned and constructed within one and a half years by students and researchers within a multi-disciplinary team of biologists, paleontologists, architects and engineers. The focus of the project is a parallel bottom-up design strategy for the biomimetic investigation of natural fiber composite shells and the development of novel robotic fabrication methods for fiber reinforced polymer structures.
