BUGA Wood Pavilion

Description

The BUGA Wood Pavilion shows innovative approaches to digital wood construction. The segmented shell is based on biological principles of the plate skeleton of sea urchins and was robotically fabricated. Three dynamic arches form inviting openings and lead visitors inside the pavilion. The lightweight shell creates a curved space for concerts and public events, with excellent acoustics and a unique architectural atmosphere.
