Hybrid Flax Pavilion longlisted for Dezeen Award in the category sustainable building
The pavilion showcases a novel wood-natural-fibre hybrid construction system developed by the Cluster of Excellence IntCDC at the University of Stuttgart as an alternative to conventional building methods.
The unique hybrid system combines thin cross-laminated timber with robotically wound flax fibre bodies to create a novel, resource-efficient building structure made from regional, bio-based materials with a distinct local connection: Flax was historically processed in the local textile industry.
