Robotically fabricated carbon and glass fibre pavilion by ICD + ITKE via Designboom

architecture students at the institute for computational design (ICD) and the institute of building structures and structural design (ITKE) at the university of stuttgart have completed a research pavilion that is robotically fabricated from carbon and glass fibre composites. the development of the structure focused on the material and morphological principles of arthropods’ exoskeletons as a source of exploration for new construction compounds in architecture.

the assembly of the shelter was performed on-site by a 6-axis robot coupled with an external sevenths axis. as part of the process the materials were saturated with resin, run through a bath of the synthetic polymer directly prior to their placement by the robot. after the completion of the filament winding process and subsequent tempering of the fibre-resin blend, the temporary steel frame could be disassembled and removed. the automatically fabricated, but locally differentiated structure resulted in an extremely thin shell of just 4mm thickness.

Hell-a-tight!

Relocating the temple at Abu Simbel: 1968 via Retronaut

“The Abu Simbel temples are two massive temples in Egypt, originally carved during the reign of Pharaoh Ramesses II. The complex was relocated in its entirety in 1968 to avoid their being submerged during the creation of Lake Nasser”
