Project : |
 |
 |
| A series of free-standing pavilions housing the Museum of American Art. Tension cables are hung between concrete abutments, and Glulam Timber arches bridge between them. This makes the system interdependant, where the shape of the cable is dependant on the weight and shape of the timber arches, and the arches themselves depend on the cable for support. |
My Role : |
 |
 |
- Parametric Modelling
- Formfinding of Arch
- Load Analysis of Combined Arch and Cable System
