Heavy Light - Fabric-Formed Concrete Structures

New architectural and structural forms are being produced at the Centre for Architectural Structures and Technology (CAST) through very simple construction methods that use flat sheets of fabric as formwork molds for reinforced concrete construction. This lecture will present some of the many ways in which extraordinarily beautiful and efficient architectural and structural forms can be constructed using simple tools and methods. Some of these methods promise substantial reductions in the consumption of bui
