Cnidaria Pavilion: A Novel Approach to Load-Bearing Architectural Skins
The Cnidaria Pavilion, developed at the Université de Montréal’s School of Architecture, showcases an innovative approach to large-span, doubly curved structures using lightweight aluminum sheets. Combining computational design with manual folding and snap-fit assembly, the pavilion demonstrates a new structural system that balances efficiency, aesthetics, and rapid fabrication.
