Every year during the Architectuurweek, our students are pushing the boundaries of the integrated design and engineering disciplines. Student organisation bru:tecture wanted to have 'temporality' as the major theme of the Architectuurweek 2015-2016. Soon the idea was born to create a large temporary structure. A strong collaboration between the student organisation and VUB Architectural Engineering allowed to design and fabricate a large pneumatic structure.
