here are some photos of the real scale physical prototypes so far..
i will make a big post in this week about our project..
the best thing was hanif kara and brett steele's amazing comments on our projects...
yup LaFarge company was one of the sponsors in this workshop, we tried a special concrete to test such fibrous structures that generated in Parametric softwares in order to test to structural performance...
the results were amazing after we took the frames out, they did not fall..
does anybody else think that architects are well behind the game when it comes to building technology?
take a look at the hoses used in the first pic. they are examples of what you are trying to do in themselves aren't they? even the sewing in my socks are!
its good to have fun though.
