Von Mises - A paradigm shift in bridge design
VON MISES develops parametric footbridge projects based on the geometry of the landscape, the continuous search for simplicity and the use of unique shapes that ema-nate from structural behavior. The designs are based on bridges previous ... [more]
High-tech bridge built with flax
An old material is being rediscovered: flax has been with us for thousands of years in the form of clothing, sacks, and robust ship's ropes. Now the plant fibres are experiencing a renaissance and could become the building material of th ... [more]
