摘要

In biology most load-bearmg structures are hber composites. They are made from fibers, as for example cellulose, chitin or collagen, and a matrix material that supports them and maintains their relative position. The astounding performance and unrivalled resource efficiency of biological structures stems from these fibrous systems. Their organization, directionality and density is finely tuned and locally varied in order to ensure that material is only placed where it is needed. The BUGA Fiber Pavilion aims to transfer this biological principle of load-adapted and thus highly differentiated fiber composite systems into architecture. Man-made composites, such as the glass- or carbon fiber-reinforced plastics that were used for this building, are ideally suited for such an approach, because they share their fundamental characteristics with natural composites.
