Reciprocalshell Model
While the full-scale shell is prepared for its return on a permanent location, we are working on a 1m sized model (Scale 1:15). The polygonal parts have been 3D printed using the FDM method and white PLA material. The completed model will be shown at the kickoff event for our new tech transfer center TTZ…

Reciprocalshell II
A new research demonstrator was just completed for our computationally designed and fabricated, material-saving lightweight timber gridshell system. The new prototype was made possible by Stadtsparkasse Augsburg, who invited us to design a structure for their annual #stadtgewaechs summer event. This event promotes sustainability in the heart of the city of Augsburg, which allowed us…

Student Pasta Bridge Competition
In the DBM Module B7 Construction and Structure, Prof. Robeller organizes a “pasta” bridge construction competition. The winner is the bridge with the best ratio of self weight and load-bearing capacity. Pasta and hot glue may be used as material for the 1m wide bridge. Among other things, the finite element method with the Karamba…
