Finding a cost-efficient solution to create unique, double-curved shapes at an industrial scale has been the Holy Grail of architecture and a challenge for construction engineers worldwide.
Driven by mass production, the usage of flat surfaces in traditional construction lead to resource depletion. In standard concrete floors the weight to strength ratio is 1:1,5 meaning 1 tone of flat floor area con sustain an added 1,5 tons. This is highly inefficient in terms of resource – usage.
