Thank you for the reply Tim.
Yes I would like to see more of it, actually, sounds very interesting.
So basically you sew the "skin, suit" for concrete, then poured the concrete inside, let it dry an then removed the suit?
Do you have some pictures of that formwork too?

hello mate, sorry bit hard to see exactly what it is!! 

Basically i tried to build a concrete construct of the voronoi geometry (so the piped bounding geometry). To do so i went down the fabric formwork road, and as you can see one of the other images, it was a series of cotton panels sewn together to make the formwork for the above. Following that i used a low aggregate concrete mix to fill the formwork, kept the fabric moist for around an hour or two, then left suspended for several days, and once dried, the fabric can be removed and this is what is left beneath!!! got some interesting pictures if you want to see more of it!!
