NEXT500 Pavilion Fuggerei, Augsburg
To mark the 500th anniversary of the Fugger Foundations, the ‘Fuggerei NEXT500’ exhibition pavilion was opened on 6 May 2022 on Rathausplatz in Augsburg. The temporary pavilion brought the history, present and future of the Fuggerei to life for visitors.
The pavilion reinterprets the architecture of a typical Fuggerei residential building with a gable roof. The structure consists of an elongated body that transitions into a cantilevered structure approximately 8.50 metres long. For the building envelope, ZÜBLIN Timber manufactured 36 components from LENO® cross-laminated timber at its Aichach plant, with surface areas of up to 50 m² and individual weights of up to 6 tonnes. The multi-curved free-form surfaces were precision-machined using a 7-axis CNC machining centre based on a 3D CAD model.
ZÜBLIN Timber was responsible for the structural design, the detailed engineering and the construction of the timber structure. The design was created by the Rotterdam-based architectural practice MVRDV, which is renowned for its experimental design. The pavilion formed part of the Fugger Foundations’ anniversary programme until 12 June 2022.
