Asymptotic Gridshell

Project details

Programme

Minimal surfaces have a constant zero mean curvature throughout its shape. This is due to the functional relationship between its two principal curvatures. It allows for a generation of asymptotic curves on these surfaces, resulting in zero normal curvature. As a result, these structures can be assembled as flat grid-shells on the ground and then can be bent to shape by applying force at designated points.

The two prototypes indicates the progress made on realization of certain objectives that are subjective to the input geometry. Also, the flat state and the final state of the geometry is seen.
