Sixteen students of the University of Belgrade teamed up with 4of7 Architecture to design and construct 1112M5 for the Inconsistencies series. An elastic structure was built at Kula Nebojsa, in Belgrade during a summer workshop. From afar the project appears as a steal structure exploding out the concrete pavilion, however it is a web straps in tension. The temporary structure stands to see how it is affected by the elements of nature. Check it out after the jump!
“This is by far the largest prototypical model built in the Inconsistencies series. It was built at Kula Nebojsa in Belgrade in June this year, as a result of the workshop conceived as an integral part of the Design Studio curriculum 1112M5 for 16 students at University of Belgrade. There are several key aspects to this exercise. The model was built in the open air space, to interact with weather conditions over the period of few weeks. Elastic material behavior was a key to construction process.
A custom made plug-in was developed for Rhino to allow for geometric modeling with material constraints. Construction of the model is carried out as a collective effort, according to the design protocol structured as a set of simple rules based on easy to do techniques (never mind the baking sun and five meter distance to the concrete floor).
