Operations of the formless - experiments on hemp fibers.
The goal was to develop a self-supporting structure, to clarify it and to generate interesting results.
The goal was to develop a self-supporting structure, to clarify it and to generate interesting results.
The experiment was based on the hanging model of Frei Otto. First, the hemp was fixed on one level, turned over and immersed in a mixture of water and potato starch. Second, the glued fibers dried in this hanging form. In the result, a rigid structure (which was created by turning the model upside down) forms a supporting structure.
To control it more, we have started to set different parameters- by determining the number of fixed points or by using the net.
Here are the results of our research.
