Filament Pavilion 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.

The last thing you expect to find in an abandoned building is an light bulb that still may work - if the power still did.
Here is yet another light bulb, although I find this one somewhat more fascinating than the others. At work we have these cool old timey bulbs and they seem to be quite photogenic.
Enjoy!
Not the greatest, but my first attempt as combining a few images from today to form one photo.
This one features sunspot 1084 and a generous filament.
At www.3dfilament.supplies/carbon/ we provide service for the Pla filament, Abs filament and carbon filament at an affordable price.
