Membrane Arrays This research project aims at combining two form-active tension systems in an integral manner: a layered cable-net system and an array of membrane patches suspended between the layers of the cable-net. Both systems derive their specific articulation in...
Membrane Frame Kinetics For building scale constructions membranes with low elasticity are usually used. Low elasticity membranes are pre-tensioned, much like a drum-skin, in order to be able to bear loads. If, however, the requirements were such that elastics...
Membrane Interconnection This research focused on achieving membrane systems with a complex geometric surface articulation created by connecting the membrane with itself, implying increased membrane articulation without increased connections to compression elements....
Membrane Interaction This research project aims at defining form finding processes for multiple interacting membrane elements. Initial experiments focused on the interaction between two simple membrane patches settling into a stable state of equilibrium. Introducing a...
Morphogenetic Design Experiment 04 This morphogentic design experiment focused on the computational and physical investigation of “minimal holes” cut into the fabric that considerably alter the behaviour of the membrane. While traditional form-finding methods focus on...
