About
Gundula Schieber is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of architecture, biology, and digital fabrication. Her key research areas include biomimetic design, robotic construction, and lightweight building systems. Schieber’s major contribution lies in advancing process-based biomimetics—the transfer of biological principles into architectural construction methods. She is best known for her work on the ICD/ITKE Research Pavilion 2014–15, which drew inspiration from the water spider’s web to develop a novel fibre placement technique on a pneumatic body. This project, with 42 citations, demonstrated how robotic fabrication can emulate natural construction processes to create highly efficient, material-saving structures. Schieber’s research has significantly impacted the field of computational design and robotic fabrication, offering new pathways for sustainable architecture. Her work exemplifies how interdisciplinary collaboration between biology and engineering can push the boundaries of architectural innovation, inspiring a new generation of researchers to explore nature’s construction logics.
