The BUGA Wood Pavilion (also known as BUGA Holzpavillion) is a 500 m2 (5,400 sq ft) experimental shell structure that served as an open event space with a multi-purpose stage at the Bundesgartenschau 2019 in Heilbronn.

Description[edit]

The Buga Wood Pavilion is one of two research demonstrator buildings that were constructed on the summer island at the National Horticultural Show 2019 in Heilbronn.[3] The segmented hollow cassette structure is inspired by the skeleton of the sanddollar and was entirely digitally designed.[4][5] The pavilion was robotically prefabricated with a distributed robotics platform at a local carpentry and assembled on site within 10 days.[6][7]
