Frei Otto
Frei Otto is interesting for his technical and conceptual innovations. In the context of ecocentric design, this Pwork is relevant for its interest in naturally occurring patterns and structures. Resulting designs can support flexible form, can be economical, lightweight and reconfigurable.
This is a section drawings that demonstrate the flexible spatial relations made possible by the inflatable pillow skin. Observe the roof/platforms, ground/platforms relations and the flexibility of rooms and pavilions on the platforms. Can flexibly fit complex host site geometries.
Drawings and models by Frei Otto, an architect primarily known for his model-based form-finding techniques. This section demonstrates the use of an orthogonal drawing in support of design thinking.
This approach allows free orientation. Flexible adaptability of modules. Standard, reusable construction techniques and a modular system.
