structural study by physical model

test 1

test 2

adding a support point on the edge but close to the main support which require a counter direction curvature to achieve stability

adding a second support on the edge further away from the main support would allow a bigger span curvature

test 3

test 4

folding one strip / component will create a tension along the whole surface (point b)

folding one strip / component will create a tension along the whole surface with one fixation point where the folded component meet the surface (point a)

self standing cantilever surface active structures

self standing cantilever by one flat surface prototype

the entire form can change by variation of the location of points or distance from the corner point A

(position of the 2 columns and the distance in between matter)

point B

by adding two starting points like columns and one main arch in the middle We got a formation that give a balanced system for the structure
