Structura by office ca & {protocell:labs}

Structura is a long form generative collection exploring tension between the tectonic and the amorphous through a three-dimensional digital composition. In the 1960s, German-born American architect Konrad Wachsmann created a series of designs for USAF aircraft hangars. His design used flat space truss system composed of tetrahedra and semi-octahedra fabricated out of modular steel elements to create a lightweight and structurally efficient structure with a large span. Space frames have an almost 200 year long history in architecture, yet at the same time they are considered to be futuristic, especially when we con ural deformations of this kind through their projects.
