Translating Movement into Architectural Form

Abstract This work seeks to define original ways of creating architectonic forms using kinesiology studies. A series methodologies are devised record subjects in motion, with analogue and digital modelling techniques rigorously used independently combination transpose these into sculptural figures differing levels formal fidelity dimensional precision. Surface structures, particular thin shells, found have great potential for moving from abstract structural forms. Such structures traditionally problematic terms ‘constructional energy’, which has limited their usefulness application. In response, the ‘hanging cloth reversed’ technique by Heinz Isler is investigated capitalise on ambiguity between large-scale models small structures. construction method that accords principles art which, significantly, suggests (small-span) shell could be liberated strictures formwork create economic, efficient elegant minimal
