It was built as part of an exhibition on construction bionics in Stuttgart. The concept of the pavilion is based on a research project that explored the limits of material savings in building construction by implementing biomimetic optimization strategies. Inspired by biological load-bearing tissues, the properties of which are specifically adapted to local loading conditions, the weight of the pavilion was reduced by distributing the material in accordance to the stress state, thus creating a functional material gradient in the structure. The paper provides an overview of the workflow of the project before describing the computational methods used and developed from conceptual design to fabrication and assembly. It concludes with a critical review of the results and the potential they reveal. Using the Rosenstein Pavilion as a case study, the paper aims at motivating architects and engineers to join their efforts in the development of integrated design and fabrication methods – always with the objective of minimizing resource consumption in the building industry.
