“The structure is more than just a visually attractive piece of urban furniture, however. Used for scientific research, it is unrivalled in its innovative features and the manner in which it links various disciplines.� -Detail magazine 22.03.2012
In 2010, the Institute for Computational Design (ICD) and the Institute of Building Structures and Structural Design (ITKE) designed and constructed a temporary research pavilion. The innovative structure demonstrates the latest developments in material-oriented computational design, simulation, and production processes in architecture. The result is a bending-active structure made entirely of extremely thin, elastically-bent plywood strips.
