Geodesic gridshell
This two day workshop was conducted as part of the course "Digital tools and parametric design" for Architecture and Engineering student’s year 2 at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg Sweden, December 2017. Utilizing a geodesic grid design, that is curves whose curvature vector is parallel with the surface normal, the gridshell was made of straight predrilled plywood laths that was bent and locked into shape using a sequential erection method.
