Notes
The Pavilion constitutes an integrated facade panel featuring an optimized structural design. This design
is grounded in topology optimization, employing the principle stress lines as the foundational structural
elements. The fabrication involves weaving Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer with the arrangement of
fibers meticulously determined by the loads borne by the geometry of the structure.
The structural optimization ensures that the Pavilion is engineered to maximize its structural integrity and
efficiency, aligning the CFRP weave with the specific forces and support locations. The utilization of
topology and CFRP underscores the Pavilion's commitment to achieving an optimal balance between
form and function in its architectural design.
