Bifurcating Structures

We drew our inspiration from nature as Gaudi did. Through our first column we studied the bifurcation of a tree. By developing a complex structure which emerged from two different rail inclinations and boolean intersections of circles with varying diameters.

Our second column replaced the circle inscriptions with a triangular geometry in an effort to reduce the amount of material causing imbalanced weight. The resulting geometry was more efficient in terms of material usage and stability.

For the third column, we drew inspiration from the canyon and we figured that by combining characteristics of the first two profiles, we could achieve a similar effect.

We believe that the first profile had the most potential for bifurcation at varying heights of the column because of the strategic intersection of circles
