For decades, self-supporting towers have been predominant in extra-high voltage (EHV) overhead transmission line design. Four recent projects have augmented their tower families with guyed ...
The concept of constructing a self-supporting structure made of rods—without the use of nails, ropes, or glue—dates back to Leonardo da Vinci. In the Codex Atlanticus, da Vinci illustrated a design ...
The self-supporting structures that snap into place, and how a ban on fossil-fuel funding could entrench poverty in sub-Saharan Africa. Drawing inspiration from the art of origami, a team of ...
The world is overwhelmed with plastic waste, a material that has the potential and need for reuse. In an undergraduate architecture studio, Pratt Institute students created large-scale inflatable ...
The reBENT project, developed by the Research Group 9 of the March 2019-20 Program of the Bartlett School of Architecture (UCL), explores the interactive relationship between augmented reality (AR) ...
Researchers recently shared details on creating foldable, self-locking structures by using multi-material 3D printing. These origami-inspired designs can transition between flat and three-dimensional ...
