ICD ITKE   Germany   Based on the conclusions drawn from a study of the internal structure of sea urchins, the pavilion is assembled with 151 pieces, prefabricated with robotic stitching from three strips of plywood, and covers an area of 85 m² with a weight of only 7.85

ITKE IIGS University of Stuttgart ICD   Germany   Constructed entirely with prefabricated pieces of beechtree wood, the prototype is based on a parametric design inspired in nature, which guarantees its structural efficiency by saving material through geometric refinement. 

The combination of biomimetics, computer design, and robotic construction continues to bear fruit, waiting for the moment that it becomes a more or less feasible model to apply in everyday architecture. This is demonstrated by the two pavilions that
