Inspired by beetles and fabricated by a robot, this striking garden pavilion kicked off the Engineering Season
This Garden installation by architects and engineers at the University of Stuttgart was inspired by the forewing shells of flying beetles known as elytra and constructed using a novel robotic production process.
Volkswagen Group is proud to support the V&A’s Engineering Season. As a leading technology and sustainable focused automobile manufacturer, Volkswagen is convinced that the arts and culture are integral elements of a vibrant society. We believe in the power of the arts to inspire creativity worldwide.
