The 2018 Aggregate Pavillion is a movable structure composed of 70,000 reusable star-shaped components. Created by researchers at the University of Stuttgart’s Institute For Computational Design and Construction (ICD), it’s the world’s first fully enclosed architectural space composed entirely of elements that hold their position by loose frictional contact.

The spiny ‘pavilion’ – whose construction, in essence, combines the properties of a solid shape and a shape-shifting fluid – was made by pouring the strangely familiar plastic shapes into a 8.8m x 9.7m enclosed space containing balloons (to create the negative space) which were then deflated and removed.
