Thisrobotically woven carbon - fibre pavilionimitates the structure of a beetle shell using weaving automaton . The 538 straight foot ( 50 square meters ) , 1307 pounds ( 593 kg ) double - vaulted structure has entanglement - like bulwark and ceilings that make it wait as it was made by xenomorphs . This is how they made it .
Marshall Prado researcher and team phallus explains :
“ The project presents a novel glide path to fibre - composite structures in computer architecture . It is based on the development of a robotic fictionalisation process for modular , double superimposed fibre composite complex body part , which reduces the involve formwork to a minimum while maintaining a large level of geometrical exemption . This enabled the transfer of operational principles of lifelike lightweight systems to architectural structures . ”
The task was developed by academician from theInstitute for Computational Design(ICD ) andInstitute of Building Structures and Structural Design(ITDK ) at theUniversity of Stuttgart . These are the same multitude who previously made these two other biological structures : A marquee based on a lobster ’s exoskeletonand ina social system mold on a sea urchin ’s frame .
