Collapsible Structures

bentropy

Hi Everyone.

I am investigating precedents of collapsible structures, the prime example being renzo piano's mobile sulphur extraction unit.

Does anyone know of any other examples?

I know Calatrava did his Doctoral Thesis on "the foldability of space frames", and I am also looking into that.

I know this is general for the time being, but with a bigger net one will catch more fish, or something like that.

Cheers

This may be much too late, but you may be interested in Sergio Pelligrino's work as well.
