Quresh Tyebji: Looking Out Week 9

This wooden pavilion is another great example of how parametric wood design comes into play. It also shows how flexible and scalable wood can be. Using its simple and unique quality, and with the help of technology, it shows how clean wood can be. The Institute for Computational Design (ICD) and the Institute of Building Structures and Structural Design (ITKE) at the University of Stuttgart came together to create this design. They were inspired by the biological principles of a sea urchin’s “plate skeleton morphology.” It’s built with very thin sheets of plywood; in addition, the play with light also brings about a certain ambiance that reflects the biological morphology of the subject.
