The 8th edition of “How virtual becomes real” continued the research into the applications of form-resistant structures. The virtual and the real were synthesised by means of both physical form-finding and numerical/digital models. The studio began dedicating five weeks to experimental and numerical form-finding techniques (on elastic gridshells, concrete shells…

Let us consider three glasses, arranged on a table at the vertices of a hypothetical equilateral triangle, and then imagine covering that area using just three kitchen knives. Considering that the glasses are the only supports, the knife handles should first be placed over the glass openings, and the blades…
