WS 11-12 ENT SPATIAL INTENSIFIERS
Our goal is to create an architectural system, which utilizes the idea of the “Deep Surface” through the innovative use of lightweight tensile members to create a structure that will not only intensify the experience of the space; but also serve as a pragmatic, functional component within the context of our established parameters (sound, heat, light). The material system we intend to use consists of: glass or carbon fiber bending-active rods, various architectural-grade membranes, and elastic textiles.
