Group Variation- Stage Design

The variations were made mainly according to the individual design, which testing the angle formed by catenaries. Then we found that the long space tile which only got one support point at the end will increase the displacement of the whole structure. Therefore, we did change the design of two supporting points at the end to stabilize the structure and decrease the displacement.

Feedback: Need to keep the drawings consistancy, the rib shows at the plan need to shows at the section as well.

1. Using Kangaroo to generate the form then bake.

3. List the support points for the mesh. 2. Patch the surface in rhino and then inport to Karamba.

4. Max displacement is 0.67 cm.

Further Thoughts: The method that generate the form firstly in kangaroo then put it in Karamba will not allowing the further optimisations or changes of the design.

Further Thoughts: The connection point between the 'tile' and the cover forms an structural weak area, needs to be fixed at the future design.
