SOFT RIGIDITY
Pure Vault Structure Research and Mock-up

Berkeley,ca

2016.10-2016.12 (8 Weeks)

Partner: Yuanfang LU; Hao ZHENG

It's class design task for a structure seminar.  The goal is finding a shell form using digital method. Our 3-people group members are all architecture students. We used software like Rhino, RhinoVAULT, Grasshopper, IVY, Kangroo and V-ray to find the form.

​

This structure used soft material to achieve a high rigidity. The way to achieve the goal is to use vault structure and change the orientation of the force flowing. By designing a smart connection detail the whole structure can stand stably.
