IAAC Nomad Folding Flax Pavilion at the Nowhere Festival 2017
From 4th to 9th of July 2017, Castejón de Monegros has once again hosted the Nowhere Festival, the Spanish version of the well-known Burning Man Festival of the United States. The one-week festival promotes cultural and educational activities focused on the self-expression.
The Nomad Folding Flax Pavilion, result of the Lightweight Bio Composite Seminar, was among the installations presented at the event. The pavilion, developed around the structural value of origami shapes, can be moved and constructed with ease.
The seminar, a collaboration with the technological center EURECAT and the wood industry partner GURIT, has explored the agency and new potential of natural materials, developing a digitally manufactured bio-composite for lightweight construction.
