TexPavillon

2015_TexPavillon_

The TexPavillon is the result of a CTI (Commission for Technology and Innovation) research project over several years, aimed at exploring the hitherto untapped potential of textile materials in architecture and establishing woven fabrics as a permanent element in architectural engineering. A mobile pavilion for exhibitions and events was created in order to demonstrate the way in which flexible textile materials can be used as a fixed structural component. This kind of structure is particular suitable for illuminating and exploring the interaction of the supporting and covering functions, which can be seen as the main requirements of a building. The pavilion can be rapidly assembled and disassembled – an essential aspect of temporary architecture –, and here again the special strengths of the textile material, its low weight and its flexibility, come into play. The TexPavillon meets all the standards by which temporary buildings are judged and was developed under the auspices of this project to the point where it is ready for the market.

Comments of the nominators

This project shows convincingly that the possibilities of textile architecture are far from being exhausted – in terms of functional, aesthetic and design aspects. Moreover, the TexPavillon is a research project that is easily understood and accessible to the general public.
