Continuous Spiral Pavilion Part 1 – learning from Zipshape

I'm posting the images of the project here with explainations on my blog there: http://www.dreamationworks.com/?p=163

This project is collaborated with Apple Chan and Wendy Huang in HKU. Inspiration from zipshape by Schindler and Salmerón also here in GH forum.

Dude thats really cool! good work, i really like the model where thickness increases with curvature. How do they handle in terms of strength?

Hi Nick,

I actually have no idea about that, I am no structural engineer, but gut feeling is that the strength are based on the material,the glue and the bonding between them. Due to limitation of the testing equptiments I have, and my knowledge in material engineering, I really have no idea about thsting them.

However, I once did a CNC piece with real timber, which is pretty heavy duty after gluing with elmer glue.
