Research for the development of a Structure for a large span roof for the Olympic games of Tokyo 2020.

Pavilion Development in Tokyo

From October 2012 I have enrolled the University of Tokyo for a masters degree on Digital Fabrication, during the first semester we have developing construction methods with tensegrity systems. Trough the use of digital tools as Rhino, Grasshopper and Kangaroo we simulate the environment on how the structures will work and after that we develop physical mock ups. This is a research lab, so there is no end but the time. What I am showing here is the result of the first semester of work, we will carry on to develop the system to built it scale 1:1 in August 2013.
