The Institute for Computational Design and Construction (ICD) released designs for two light-weight pavilions to be completed next spring of 2019. In collaboration with the Institute for Building Structures and Structural Design (ITKE) at the University of Stuttgart, the projects will be robotically fabricated for the 2019 Bundesgartenschau exhibition in Heilbronn.
Both pavilion designs draw from biological structures and their ability to exhibit a far higher degree of material efficiency and functional integrity. Each design revolves around the transfer of light-weight principles.
The BUGA Fiber Pavilion will be made entirely from individual glass and carbon fibre composites produced through a robotic winding process. This method allows the form and layout of each component to adapt depending on specific structural requirements.
The BUGA Wood Pavilion design uses plate structures found in nature as a typology for construction. Exploring segmented timber shells and high performance joints, the entire prefabricated structure will be made from 400 lightweight segments reaching a free span of over 25 meters.
