Zaha Hadid Architects and ETH Zurich develop knitted concrete system
Рет қаралды 224,558
5 жыл бұрынA double-curved concrete shell made with a 3D-knitted formwork in a collaboration between Zaha Hadid Architects and ETH Zurich has gone on display in Mexico City.
KnitCret is a new 3D-knitted textile system for creating curving concrete structures, without the need for expensive and time-consuming moulds.
The colourful pavilion is called KnitCandela in homage to the work of Spanish-Mexican architect and engineer Félix Candela, who created dramatic curved concrete shells in his buildings such as the Los Manantiales Restaurant in 1958.
Over two miles of yarn was knitted into four strips of between 15 and 26 metres in just 36 hours using a digital fabrication technique, then flown over from Switzerland to Mexico in suitcases.

No matter how far away you are right now, we can still feel your passion in the futuristic art you have inspired the next architects with

Parametric architecture is by far one of the most beautiful professions ever existed.

Really cool. I love the tension the structure is radiating. I would love to see this incorporating some sort of self-assembly.

At first it looked like the interior skin was a smooth flannel material and it turns out to be a weather-resistant synthetic. Great editing on this video -- music building as construction progresses. As this technology evolves it will be wonderful to see more the inner surface to outer surface ratio increase. (more enclosure)

At this point we have just to wait for an entire new building from ZHA, probably in the Arabic peninsula or in some petrol country, with the evolution of this technology.

Change your title, it`s a knitted formwork structure, not a knitted concrete structure. Still impressive though :) great video

Wow, they re-invented concrete shells from the 70ies, except they used inflated membranes back then , which was way more simple and economical. At least, if they had done without the nasty concrete this time, but no : more filthy concrete smothering !
