Thin shell structures are widely used in high-performance engineering due to their favorable strength-to-weight characteristics and capacity for distributed load-bearing. However, traditional ...

A thin shell pavilion with an audio feedback program invites engagement. Apertures, the amorphous pavilion designed and fabricated by Baumgartner+Uriu (B+U) with students from SCI-Arc, challenges two ...

A structure is a 3D shape made from different materials and parts. Structures are designed and made to be strong, stable and sturdy. This means that they will not break or fall over easily. There’s ...
