Fib[Earth]Slab

Likhinya Kvs, Nicolás Pousa & Jonas Gorges | University Stuttgart

“Fib[Earth] Slab” is a novel design-to-fabrication system for hybrid clayslabswith fiber-reinforced textile formwork. Through material characterisation, computer-aided form finding and structural analysis, fiber patterns are embedded within the textile to shape and reinforce earth. The system offers a circular alternative to concrete, maximizes material efficiency, and enables complete recyclability or return to the natural cycle at the end of its life
