The workshop will show participants how to design Membrane Tensegrity Shell (MTS) structures.
MTS structures consist of a network of discrete struts within a continuous tensile membrane. Unlike typical tensegrity structures, MTS structures are relatively easily drawn and modeled since they have only a 2D pattern of struts and a single membrane.
Validated MTS design workflows developed by the team will be shown from first principles. Participants will be able to tailor their own MTS’s using both physical and digital modes. The attendees will be provided with a kit of parts, including fabric for the membrane and laser-cut plastic/plywood for the struts, to create a physical model of their MTS structures.
All workshops will be held on October 26, from 09:00 to 18:00. [View the General Programme here].
