Flexible Forming for Fluid Architecture [electronic resource] / by Arno Pronk. - 1st ed. 2021. - XIV, 582 p. 647 illus., 498 illus. in color. online resource.
Form -- Fluid and Architecture -- The morphology of Fluid and Architecture -- Structure -- Induction -- Ice -- Glass -- Composites -- Concrete.
This book on flexible formwork for fluid architecture is a multi-faceted research that covers a broad field: from design to material and technology, and from history to future developments. It offers a pragmatic approach that can be extended with more cases, materials, techniques and methods for fluid architecture, and provides a better understanding of the main aspects of fluid architecture and to help them find the most suitable combinations of all aspects. The book is a challenging experience with many new discoveries, including two patents: one on moulding of fluid surfaces and one on 3D printing of fibre–reinforced ice. It also features two world records: the larges span (30 meters) and the highest thin shell structure (30,5 meters) in ice as well as a method for the construction of a fully laminated shell structure in insulated glass.
