FLAMENCO ICE TOWER
1. Place the inflatable
2. Set up the rope nets
The thin shell structure of 31 meters is made with an average thickness of 25 cm of fiber-reinforced ice sprayed on a huge inflatable. Positive Curves
It is possible to build large thin shell structures by reinforcing ice by adding natural fibers such as wood fibers. These fibers make the ice much stronger and create a reliable building material.
3. Reinforced ice material is sprayed
