Beyond Bending : Reimagining Compression Shells / Block Research Group
Publication year: 2018

The examination of old construction principles in combination with the development of new digital graphic construction methods leads to unusual ways in the design of self-supporting structures. Based on its Armadillo Vault, which was awarded at the Venice Biennale 2016, the Block Research Group of ETH Zurich describes development processes and visions of resource-saving, refined load-bearing structures without steel. The intensive examination of principles is fundamental.
