In April 2016, the Institute for Computational Design (ICD) and the Institute of Building Structures and Structural Design (ITKE) of the University of Stuttgart completed a new research pavilion demonstrating robotic textile fabrication techniques for segmented timber shells.

The pavilion, designed and realised by students and researchers within a multi-disciplinary team of architects, engineers, biologists, and palaeontologists, is the first of its kind to employ industrial sewing of wood elements on an architectural scale.

The aim was to investigate the possible transfer of constructional principles and the development of new construction methods for timber plate shells based on the intricate internal shell structures of sea urchins and sand dollars.

The building elements consist of extremely thin wood strips. The strips can be elastically bent to find the specific shape pre-programmed into their laminate. In this deformed state, the elements are locked in shape by robotic sewing. In this way, 151 geometrically different elements could be produced, which result in a stiff doubly curved shell structure when assembled.

Timber exhibits excellent mechanical behaviour and high potentials for textile and multi-material joints outside the scope of conventional timber connections. Especially for thin layers of plywood, multiple continuous connections are generally preferable to larger singular ones. However, glued connections generally require either large presses or complex formwork to maintain the pressure necessary for lamination.

The pavilion consists of 151 segments that were prefabricated by robotic sewing. Each of them is made out of three individually laminated beech plywood strips. Ranging between 0.5-1.5 m in diameter, their specific shapes and material make-up are programmed to fit local structural and geometrical requirements. The textile connections developed for this project allow overcoming the need for any metal fasteners.

The entire structure weighs 780 kg while covering an area of 85 m² and spanning 9.3 m. With a resulting material thickness / span ratio of 1/1000 on average, the building has a structural weight of only 7.85 kg/m².

The overall design responds to site-specific conditions on the university campus. It establishes a semi-exterior space that integrates the ground topography as a seating landscape and opens towards the adjacent public square. At the same time it demonstrates the morphologic adaptability of the developed system by generating more complex spatial arrangements than a simple shell structure.

The research pavilion aims to showcase the potential of computational design, simulation and fabrication processes in timber architecture.
