Students and researchers from the ICD and ITKE departments at Stuttgart University,

constructed a study pavilion, examining robotic construction capacity based on parametric

design. The 12 meter long weaving construction consumed 184 kilometers of carbon and

glass fiber composite. The limited dimensions of the structure were dictated by the closed

building in which it was built, but the principle can be repeated on any scale according to

need. The composition of carbon and glass fiber, which yields an effective ratio between

weight and strength, is popular in motor and space industries. However, the construction

potential in the field of architecture is still to be researched.

The project was conducted in collaboration with biologists from the University of Tübingen,

who identified the shell-weaving process by two reptiles: Leucoptera Erythrinella and

Lyonetia Clerkella.
