The building industry is characterised by craftsmanship, manual skills as well as many individual geometric parts. To be economically competitive with complex geometric projects, the consistent implementation of a “digital work-flow” – from design to production of each of the individual parts of a building structure – is the key. The project focusses on realising a complex geometric structure with consistent use of digital tools. The technological core of the project is to approximate a variable curved surface by means of flat, individually cut ALUCOBOND® panels. The assembly is effectuated with a special “spatial connection”, enabling the wedging of the individually, three-dimensionally aligned panels. The The pavilion at the Designer’s Open in Leipzig.

Digital data and information processing have caused social and economic structures and connections to change increasingly rapidly over the last decades. Digital information chains are an integral part of the mass production process from the initial design to the finished product. In the field of building, especially architecture, the application of digital tools is mainly restricted to the design and planning process. Digital process support most often ceases at the interface to the production process. The reason is rooted in the individual character of the building industry, the large scale of the manufactured parts as well as the organisational variety and plurality of involved parties.
