FREI OTTO 100 The spirit of lightweight construction

Frei Otto was a visionary innovative architect and master of lightweight structures.

To commemorate his extraordinary spirit of experimentation, his works, methods, and international networks, the Institute for Lightweight Structures and Conceptual Design (ILEK) is organizing a two-day international symposium in collaboration with the Institut für Architecturgeschichte (ifag). The two-day event will take place on 5^th and 6^th June in the ILEK "Tent" designed by Frei Otto. This provides an inspiring space for open reflection on past and present achievements in the field of lightweight construction. The symposium will include a historical reflection on Frei Otto’s work, methods and networks, supported by the testimony of several contemporary witnesses. It will also focus on how different generations of researchers and practitioners interpret the legacy of Institute for Lightweight Structures at the University of Stuttgart. Invited keynote speakers include Achim Menges, Jenny Sabin, Werner Sobek and Georg Vrachliotis.
