»Open Source Cardboard« is the first permanent structure created from folded corrugated cardboard. The capabilities of this sustainable material will be examined with the help of this 3 x 5 meter long, experimental structure. This lightweight cardboard construction serves as a subject for research. Through long-term observations of the buildings temperature, humidity, movement and size change a detailed assessment is possible.
The source material, honeycomb panels, is a recycled product which requires very little energy to produce. This ecological and easily obtainable product possesses significant potential that has not yet been exploited for house construction. In addition to the folded corrugated honeycomb panels, a water-repellent cement-synthetic sealing compound was used on the facade. The sides were closed using a foil facade or by two rotary portals made of wood.
13 students from the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism as well as from the Faculty of Civil Engineering were involved in the planning and implementation of this first module. This team of students was supervised by Prof. Rainer Gumpp, Dipl.-Ing. Stephan Schütz and Dipl.-Ing. Marcel Ebert from the chair of Design and Structural Systems.
The Pavilion is used as student working space, meeting point and gallery.
