James Solly

James is a Chartered Engineer (CEng MICE) and a Research Associate at the Institute for Building Structures and Structural Design (ITKE) at the University of Stuttgart. His research is in the development of virtual prototyping strategies for fibre-reinforced polymers (FRP) as part of the Innochain ETN network and he is also a tutor and lecturer for the ITECH M.Sc Programme. Prior to his current academic role, James worked in practice at Ramboll UK, BuroHappold Engineering and Format En gineers delivering geometrically and computationally complex engineering projects ranging from experimental sculptures to international museums.

James’s most recent project has been the Elytra Filament Pavilion, a biologically-inspired, robotically-fabricated FRP structure that was designed and delivered by a collaborative team from the ICD and ITKE at the University of Stuttgart. Elytra was exhibited in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London as part of Engineering Season during summer 2016 before moving to the Vitra Design Campus, Weil am Rhein for the “Hello Robot Exhibition” which opens February 10^th 2017.

Under the direction of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jan Knippers , the Institute of Building Structures and Structural Design (ITKE) at the University of Stuttgart focuses on the development of building structures as an essential and form giving aspect of architecture. Combining teaching and research in a highly interdisciplinary environment, ITKE´s goal is to push the boundaries of engineering design and material science towards new and non-standard applications in the field or architecture. The synergy between research and teaching environment is a central feature of the work carried out at ITKE. The interaction between scientific investigation and academic activities provides a privileged platform to develop high quality research and to establish solid collaborations with industry partners, allowing the continuous trade of original ideas and an innovative approach to structural design which redefines the border between architecture and engineering.

The institute is one of the two lead institutes of the international MSc Programme Integrative Technologies and Architectural Design Research (ITECH) and is a partner in several collaborative research networks including the Innochain Network and the Collaborative Research Centre SFB-TRR 141.
