But even if we guess them, coming up with a rhino script or something to generate structures based on a series of intersecting force vectors would already be amazing. I really like what you sad...High tech thinking..low tech material... You are right, the main problem is to predict the forces acting on to the frame.

The main problem will be to analyze the forces. It is difficult to predict the force directions. I think we would need an expert. But if we had the force vectors its interesting to use them for form generation. It could be a little bit like Matthecks shape optimization techniques - but he is really pro! ;-) Difficult - and that's why it's interesting and something "new" - but only "new" in shape and style. It doesn't change the usage or functionality. But maybe that's not the point. Let's call it high-low-tech! High-tech with low-tech material! I really think that's future! Best Steffen Hi,
