The Shrine of Whatslove, standing 4 meters high and 3.8 meters wide, is an architectural marvel constructed entirely with a continuous carbon-fiber weave. The carbon-fiber's density is precisely regulated at 18 kg per cubic meter, achieving an impressive bearing capacity of 400 kg. Over a month of rigorous testing, 7,200 meters of carbon-fiber bundles were utilized to complete the shrine within 90 hours.
Unlike conventional carbon-fiber pavilions, the Shrine of Whatslove features floor slabs capable of supporting at least four individuals and is designed to appear as though it is floating in mid-air. This unique structure was realized with the aid of KUKA robotic arms and an automated platform driven by ROS (Robot Operating System), ensuring precision and efficiency in the construction process.
