Shellular Fabrication via Origami

Shellular Fabrication via Origami

This research introduces a computational algorithm for translating a Cellular Funicular Structure (CFS) to a Shellular Funicular Structure (SFS) and explores a fabrication method using the origami/kirigami technique.

Saltatur the Dancer

Saltatur the Dancer

The Saltatur demonstrates innovative research in the design and fabrication of a prefab, discrete, spatial composite structure consisting of a spatial, compression-only concrete body, post-tensioning steel rods, and an ultra-thin glass structure on its top in the form of long-span furniture.
