The COCOON_FS Pavilion by\u00a0Pohl Architect<\/a>s is a lightweight fiberglass shelter inspired by nature and it\u2019s structural forms. Relient on computer modeling and digital fabrication, the result is a series of detailed panels fitted together to create this alluring structure.<\/p>\n

From their\u00a0Facebook\u00a0<\/a>page:<\/p>\n

COCOON_FS, the joint project \u00a0of architect Julia and G\u00f6ran Pohl, is a morphogenetic design approach using lightweight structural panels. The construction methods of natural organisms informed their energy and material efficient designs. \u00a0Lightweight yet strong and stable, \u00a0the form is achieved through a highly resilient fiberglass composite system. COCOON_FS \u00a0is opaque white during the day, \u00a0but at night shows its transparency and luminosity.<\/p>\n

COCOON_FS can be a production-ready product, suitable as a\u00a0pavilion for art and horticultural exhibitions, storage, or shelters for golf and other sports fields and facilities.<\/p>\n

COCOON_FS PlanktonTech was created as a prototype of a morphogenetic form developed from artwork by Julia and G\u00f6ran Pohl as part of their research network. \u00a0With Jena LIGHT INSTITUTE, POHL architects and with the support of the Alfred Wegner Institute in Bremerhaven, the work was designed and built by Fiber-Tech in Chemnitz.<\/p>\n
