Innovative Hybrid Flax Pavilion demonstrates use of CLT and flax fiber as alternative to conventional building techniques
The Hybrid Flax Pavilion demonstrates the application of an innovative wood and natural fiber hybrid construction system as an alternative to conventional building techniques. Developed by the Cluster of Excellence “Integrative Computational Design and Construction for Architecture” (IntCDC) at the University of Stuttgart, the pavilion was designed as a central exhibition space for the 2024 Landesgartenschau horticultural show on the banks of the Argen River in Wangen im Allgäu, Germany.

Wangen Tower is first multi-level and climbable structure to use self-shaped timber components
Wangen Tower is the first multi-level and climbable structure to use self-shaped, structural timber components. The tower’s design and build is based on research from the Cluster of Excellence “Integrative Computational Design and Construction for Architecture” (IntCDC) at the University of Stuttgart. The tower was created as an architectural landmark and a pioneering timber structure for the Landesgartenschau 2024 (this large-scale, annual horticultural show takes place in different regions of Germany — the 2024 edition is in western Allgäu).
