In the V&A's courtyard.
Created by Achim Menges with Moritz Dörstelmann, Jan Knippers, Thomas Auer.
Elytra was a responsive shelter; new components of the structure were built on-site.
The pavilion tested a possible future for architectural and engineering design, exploring how new robotics technologies might transform how buildings are designed and built. The design drew on research into lightweight construction principles found in nature. It is inspired by the filament structures of the shells of flying beetles, known as elytra.
Made of glass and carbon fibre, each component of the canopy was produced using a robotic winding technique developed by the designers. Unlike other fabrication methods, this does not require moulds and can produce an infinite variety of spun shapes, while reducing waste to a minimum.

These hubs use a pair of bearings I have had laying around for years, they are auto centering and grip the filament spool really well.
Mosses belong to the division Bryophyta. They have a facinating method of sexual reproduction, with two destinctive generations. The gametophyte generation happens at the ends of the leaf whorls, with the male antheridium producing sperm that swim!!! to the female archegonium. This process requires water, which is one reason mosses live in damp habitats. Once the sperm and egg are joined the sporophyte generation commences and a seed capsule develops on a long filament (which can be seen here) containing the spores. The little cap at the end of the capsule is called calyptra, and as the filament dries this drops off, and the spores are released! Isn't biology wonderful!!! Backyard safari Horsham West Sussex

I found a little old headlight bulb in the glove box from the neighbor's old car. Looked like an ancient artifact that everyone should be alarmed about.
