Stuttgart University was home to several engineers and departments that developed many types of structural model testing in the 1930s including suspension bridges and photoelastic stress analysis. The Otto Graf Institute was the only one in the German‐speaking world devoted exclusively to model testing. From the early 1960s, the architect Frei Otto began experimenting with many techniques of form finding for structures, which work culminated with the great cablenet structures at Expo ‘67 in Montreal, and several stadia at the Munich Olympics in 1972. Otto's first completed cablenet structure had been the building which housed his Institute for Lightweight Structures and is now home to the Institute for Lightweight Structures and Conceptual Design (ILEK) at the University of Stuttgart.
