Project Description

The FIBR Pavilion showcases innovative architecture by combining advanced digital design methods with cutting-edge construction technologies.  The Pavilion aims to transfer this biological principle of load-adapted and thus highly differentiated fibre composite systems into architecture.

 

The pavilion covers a floor area of around 400 square meters and achieves a free span of more than 23 meters. It is enclosed by a fully transparent, mechanically pre-stressed ETFE membrane. The primary load bearing structure is made from 60 bespoke fibre composite components only.
