Mobile Spaces

Transportable, robust, quick to assemble and dismantle, easy to repair and recycle, and usable in different climatic regions—this is what was required of the pavilions that Markus Heinsdorff designed for the presentation of Germany in India 2011–2013 (steel and membrane) and the presentation of Germany in China 2007–2010 (bamboo and membrane). Using photographs and plans, Mobile Spaces presents the various types of pavilion, as well as further experiments with universities and engineers on the subject of “environmental membranes” and statics in extreme lightweight construction.
