Both the designers Ron Culver and Joseph Sarafian have discovered a unique system for casting concrete in Lycra stretched with robotic arms. This newest method can be applied to develop basic new architectural forms (+ movie). When the concrete is set, the fabric is then exposed that leads to marginal waste.

Architects seeking to deliver their own, creative signature realize they must focus much of their attention on the design of the exterior wall, the face of the structure to the outside world. Today’s design trends drive those same architects to source a wide array of applied architectural features that are mounted to the building structure.

Precast concrete is one type of construction under which casting is done in a recyclable mould or “form” and cured in a controlled surrounding as well as transmitted to the construction site and hoisted into place. It is primarily applied in the erection of buildings with repetitive design and components, like schools and apartments.

Thicker plywood may be used when the weight of concrete causes a standard thickness plywood to bow out, distorting the concrete face. Note the different thickness: A standard plywood thickness on site is 18mm. this is usually sufficient for most pours. However, if the formwork is curved, a thinner plywood is used to facilitate bending.

When concrete is fresh and in its liquid state it must be restrained within a mould in order for it to set in its required shape. A smooth outer surface provides the main support for the concrete as it sets. Formwork is the term used to describe this mould. For most in-situ pours, the formwork is made of wood.

Even experience in extensive design in academic context can provide only limited perspective in engineering decision making. Most lessons in engineering decision making come from the cases of histories of failures of structures, which itself are the results of a bad judgement, thus making us understand the pitfalls in conceptual design.
