| Abstract: |
The desire for fluent “soft spaces” in architecture cannot be ignored any more. This paper presents the result of the research on Minimal Surfaces of Catenoids representing one part of a comprehensive basic research that considers the infinite possibilities of membrane forms as elements in architecture in combination with common building-technologies. Further on this paper partly reveals new correlations between Minimal Surface and boundary conditions and so far unknown rules in its selforganizing processes. Case studies document new capabilities in designing and creating space in architecture. |
