Fibrous Architecture

Research Area

The fibre research area investigates novel methods and processes related to the design, engineering and fabrication of large-scale fibre composite structures aiming for new digital building systems. One particular focus is a novel process called coreless filament winding, which is based on the process of formation of free-spanning fibres without relying on a mould. It significantly reduces material expenditure through load-adapted fibre arrangements and covers a wide range of material systems, from carbon and glass fibre composites to experimental natural fibres and bio resins.
