# Carbon Fiber Pavilions The FiberWave Pavilion is Made of Resilient Material By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-07-21 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fiberwave-pavilion References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/architecture/iit-carbon-lab-fiberwave-pavilion-07-21-2014/) & [digiitalarchfab](http://digiitalarchfab.com/studiosp14/) The FiberWave Pavilion has been built by IT Design Studio, and is made out of resilient, carbon fibre material. Overall the structure looks like half a shell, sitting in front of the [Illinois Institute of Technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-printing-additive-manufacturing). The studio spent many months putting the design together, and "through various iterations aided by parametric modeling software, the team arrived at a [wave-like form](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-landscape), which is designed to shift and morph when variably tensioned," states DesignBoom. For coloring most of the pavilion shows off the [darker steel look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/performance-pavilion), but it also has touches of yellow thrown in there for a punch of pigment. The FiberWave Pavilion is quite simple in looks, but the carbon fiber material used makes it long lasting and relevant.
