The Institute for Computational Design (ICD) and the Institute of Building Structures and Structural Design (ITKE) of the University of Stuttgart have constructed another bionic research pavilion. The project is part of a successful series of research pavilions which showcase the potential of novel design, simulation and fabrication processes in architecture. The project was planned and constructed within one and a half years by students and researchers within a multi-disciplinary team of architects, engineers and biologists.nnThe focus of the project is a parallel bottom-up design strategy for the biomimetic investigation of natural fiber composite shells and the development of novel robotic fabrication methods for fiber reinforced polymer structures. The aim was the development of a winding technique for modular, double layered fiber composite structures, which reduces the required formwork to a minimum while maintaining a large degree of geometric freedom. Therefore, functional principles of natural lightweight structures were analyzed and abstracted in cooperation with the University of Tübingen and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. Through the development of a custom robotic fabrication method, these principles were transferred into a modular prototype pavilion.nnPROJECT-TEAM nInstitute for Computational Design - Prof. Achim MengesnInstitute of Building Structures and Structural Design - Prof. Jan KnippersnnRESEARCH DEVELOPMENT AND PROJECT MANAGEMENTnMoritz Dörstelmann, Vassilios Kirtzakis, Stefana Parascho, Marshall Prado, Tobias SchwinnnnCONCEPT DEVELOPMENTnLeyla YunisnnSYSTEM DEVELOPMENT AND REALIZATIONnWiSe 2012 – SoSe2013: Desislava Angelova, Hans-Christian Bäcker, Maximilian Fichter, Eugen Grass, Michael Herrick, Nam Hoang, Alejandro Jaramillo, Norbert Jundt, Taichi Kuma, Ondrej Kyjánek, Sophia Leistner, Luca Menghini, Claire Milnes, Martin Nautrup, Gergana Rusenova, Petar Trassiev , Sascha Vallon, Shiyu WienWiSe 2013:Hassan Abbasi, Yassmin Al-Khasawneh, Desislava Angelova, Yuliya Baranovskaya, Marta Besalu, Giulio Brugnaro, Elena Chiridnik, Eva Espuny, Matthias Helmreich, Julian Höll, Shim Karmin, Georgi Kazlachev, Sebastian Kröner, VangelKukov, David Leon, Stephen Maher, Amanda Moore, Paul Poinet, Roland Sandoval, Emily Scoones, Djordje Stanojevic, Andrei Stoiculescu, Kenryo Takahashi, Maria Yablonina supported by Michael PreisacknnIN COOPERATION WITH:nInstitute of Evolution and Ecology, Evolutionary Biology of Invertebrates, University of Tübingen - Prof. Oliver BetznnDepartment of Geosciences, Paleontology of Invertebratesand Paleoclimatology Universität Tübingen - Prof. James H.
