This paper presents the design and construction of a 36m² gridshell, the rigidity of which is achieved through the bending of an initially flat grid of 210 reclaimed skis. The generated waste for its production is near zero as it is mostly built from... Read More about Structural Design with Reclaimed Materials: an Elastic Gridshell out of Skis.
