SUSTAINABLE DYNAMIC STRUCTURES WITH CANE

The last month I have been quite busy helping out raise the structure above.
It is located near Idanha Velha, in the premises for the International Boom Festival in Portugal.

It is one of the most clear examples of dynamic structures, where ordinary laws of statics don't apply, and one of my first fields of intense research.

The aim is to reach a comprehensive computational model that allows the designer (Jonathan Cory Wright - www.canyaviva.com) to experiment with his designs prior to having to actually raise his buildings!
