Maison Fibre: Towards a Novel Material Culture
Debuting at the biennale, Maison Fibre is a scaled habitable installation made using computational design, and the first multi-storey structure of its kind.
While a lot of the response to Hashim Sarkis’ question, ‘How will we live together?’ at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2021 postulates the coexistence of future social, ecological and spatial factors, one wonders what the spaces of this co-existence would look like. Where will these lives be together? Maison Fibre explores an alternative approach not only to the design but also, and more importantly, the construction of future habitable spaces. Conceptualised by the Institute for Computational Design and Construction (ICD) and the Institute of Building Structures and Structural Design (ITKE) of the Cluster of Excellence IntCDC at the University of Stuttgart, Maison Fibre is a scaled habitable installation made entirely from robotically produced, fibrous building elements. Making a debut at the biennale, this installation is the first multi-storey structure of its kind.
