For this exercise we created a semi complex shell and analysed it with the chosen four supports, gravity load and a specific chosen point load. In the structure analysis we compared that shell with two others using point loads in different positions in attempt to understand and see witch preforms [...]

Structural Vault Analysis
For the structural analysis we decided to play with the geometry of a vault linked to certain parameters that were able to change the physical appearance of the whole piece. In the first case, we have a regular vault without any change. The height is 4m and the length is 8 meters. For the second [...]

Experimental Structures
We found interesting the idea of taking paper or cardboard and increase its structural performance simply by folding the material. All experimental forms we built were all constructed by folding a single piece of paper. The inspiration of Origami and paper folding structures of Ren Resch led us to explore the structural capabilities of cardboard. We made different bending experiments [...]
