Buga Fibre Pavillion
(I was just a Hiwi)
a project by: ICD, ITKE
“In biology most load-bearing structures are fibre composites. They
are made from fibres, as for example cellulose, chitin or collagen, and a
matrix material that supports them and maintains their relative
position. The astounding performance and unrivalled resource efficiency
of biological structures stem from these fibrous systems. Their
organization, directionality and density is finely tuned and locally
varied in order to ensure that material is only placed where it is
needed. The BUGA Fibre Pavilion aims to transfer this biological principle of
load-adapted and thus highly differentiated fibre composite systems
into architecture. Manmade composites, such as the glass- or
carbon-fibre-reinforced plastics that were used for this building, are
ideally suited for such an approach because they share their fundamental
characteristics with natural composites.” https://www.icd.uni-stuttgart.de/projects/buga-fiber-pavilion/
As a research assistant in ITKE I participated, prior to the construction of the pavillion, in the structural testing of several carbon fibre - robotic wound components, to ensure their performance under load.
