The computational model was developed based on a topological optimization of the form and a predictive game of the loads that acts on bench.

The initial concept was to play with the thinness of the bench. The decision to optimize resources led us to the search of the best uses and performances of the board, whose dimensions are 2.44 x 1.22 m.

The predictive process of loads estimates the effort to which the bench can be subject and then reverse the load vector to develop a negative image of the bank.

The final result is a bench generated from an inverted curve which is directly related with the estimated load that naturally deforms the bench. Then, the resulting deformation of the negative curvature of the bench will become virtually parallel to the horizontal plane.
