Landesgarten exhibition hall, Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany, by University of Stuttgart

Believe it or not, this structure was built using super computers. A team of geniuses at the University of Stuttgart’s institute for computational design, structural design and engineering geodesy found their inspiration in peanut shells to design this giant wooden building. The construction is made of 243 digitally cut plywood panels.
