CONTENT. This report and presentation covers the principles and design analysis of tensegrity structures and the way in which they can be implemented into an architectural space.

We achieve this through various in depth analysis of both a physical and digital nature.

To further understand the way in which these structures worked we created various prototypes to replicating oue precedence study to get a better physical understanding of the requirements of these complex models.

Once we had an understanding of the building and brief, we begain to digitally experiment with potential modules and forms that we could create along our facade, as well as experimentation with some physical prototypes to help better understand the construction process of these structures.

DESIGN ITERATION I 4-Strut Tensegrity stalactite formation.
The first facade experimention we came up with was implementing a stacked, ‘tree’ like formation of a 4 strut module. We found that this design although was complex in nature, seemed very bulky and overbearing for the size of the building.

DESIGN ITERATION II 3-Strut Tensegrity stacked wall. The second design we came up with involved stacking a 3 Strut module into a wall like formation. The wall provided a very unique shadow and did not interfere with the existing columns. Although visually and physically it worked well, we found that the complexity and intricacy of the design wasnt quite there yet.

DESIGN ITERATION III Experimenting with different size strut members. In our third design, we started to experiment using different sized strut members. We found that digitally we could get it to work but the process of creating it was too long and limited us to changes in module if we needed to. Although visually and physically it worked well, we found that we were limited to one module design by doing it this way. Opening up that north wall had been our mission from the begining and this was a closer step to that goal.

DESIGN ITERATION IV Our fourth design implemented shade sails in the structure, as we found that this would be necessary to provide shading along that north wall. The problem with this design was the size and lineairty of the compression members, although we did not go with this design it did aid in the idea of using one of the compression members as a replacement for the columns.

The final design we are proposing consists of five different modules. The modules are orientated in a way that heroes the tensegrity form whilst also not overbearing the original structure.
