Abstract: |
Since 1967, Heinz Isler (Structural Engineer) and Michael Balz have developed numerous projects and studies regarding concrete shells in natural shapes. Methods of form-finding, shaping and forming of these shell structures, the realisation of technical methods of concrete casting and the cooperation between Structural Engineers and Architects play an important role within this article. |
