This post describes the generation of the main geometry for the FIGMENT pavilion. Our concept was to create a structure that could behave in two different ways. At the bottom level very Rigid (through wooden ribs); the upper level was quite flexible. In fact this one was conceived as a chamber to accumulate water vapor [...]
