The BUGA Fibre Pavilion is designed by the Institute for Computational Design and Construction (ICD) and the Institute for Building Structures and Structural Design (ITKE) at University of Stuttgart. The pavilion design uses the most cutting-edge technologies. They use fibre composites and robotic technologies to build the load-bearing structure. Therefore, the project is extraordinary lightweight.
The pavilion mimics natural and biological structure. It is eventually made with 150,000 meters of spatially arranged glass- and carbon-fibers and the structure spans freely for more than 75 feet. With computational design and robots, fibrous filaments are freely placed between rotating winding scaffolds. Use of pioneered technologies broaden the possibility for form making.
