The engineering team behind a new garden installation at the V&A Museum (right-to-left: Jan Knippers, Mortiz Dorstelmann, Achim Menges) joined by director of the V&A Martin Roth (far left). Called Elytra Filament Pavilion, the insallation is the result of four years of research and is made of 40 hexagonal cells created by a robot during a 4-month process. The hexagons are made of carbon fibres and resin-soaked glass. The pavilion was created by experimental architect Achim Menges, Jan Knippers and Thomas Aeur, in a collaboration with the University of Stuttgart.
