ASSIGNMENT o5 (individual): Reading & Essay - Learning from Steward-Gough and Material Logics
- Low-tech or High-tech? " cut.enoid.tower " - three times two facets of irregularity
VI International Conference on Textile Composites and Inflatable Structures (Structural Membranes 2013)
Barcelona
Günther H. Filz
Do membrane structures belong to low-tech or high-tech products? This paper looks into the question above by the means of the realized, experimental structure “cut.enoid.tower”[*] a complex system of combined structural principles.

- “2 Landscapes” – interaction of 2 gridshells based on a modified Stewart – Gough - principle
This paper describes a novel timber gridshell design method and building technique by means of the realized pavilion “2Landscapes”, which uses a modified Stewart - Gough - principle to interconnect two gridshells to a closed, extremely lightweight structural and architectural system.

- A Cloud for Fresh Snow ‐ Research Lab – a hybrid solution of minimal surface prestressed by bending active boundary conditions forming a spherical tetrahedron
IASS Symposium 2015 "Future Visions"
Amsterdam, The Nederlands
Walter Klasz, Günther H. Filz
This paper describes the realized case study of the " Cloud for fresh snow " , which is based on research on bending active elements as part of a hybrid solutions, namely the interaction of bending active wooden members and membrane surfaces in terms of an architectural design approach as well as in terms of structural performance.

- Pringle : equitangential bending active frame and minimal surface robe-net
MIT, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston, USA
Günther H. Filz, Summer Shahzad, Jarkko Niiranen
As a follow-up research to the competition winning entry (Filz) for a roof cover for the Guatemala relief map, this paper presents the experimental structure of the “Pringle” composed from an actively bent, annular stripe and its equitangentially aligned filling by a minimal surface.

Read the full papers, write and submit (in English) as individual work a 500-600 word summary in the context of provided research question. Submit online (in English) until 06.05.2019, 23.00 latest.
What YOU are supposed to do /submit:
READ - ANALYZE/COMPARE - WRITE/SUMMARIZE/ENVISIONThis readings should be easy for you. They are supposed to be "teasers" for you. This is why the submission is individual and not limited or influenced by team members.
GUIDING RESEARCH QUESTION:
Related to the provided papers, the guiding question is what we can learn from Steward Gough and material logic. How are novel application and innovative thinking/developing inspired and connected to technical approach, design thinking and material logic (meaning using material and geometry as well as utilizing material propoerties)?
- READ = individually try to understand the main messages and key aspects, applications/visions for future applications/... of the provided papers
- ANALYZE/COMPARE = individually refelect and note what is important from your understanding, compare the different approaches in terms of technology, material use, geometry, kinematics, applicability, future visions
- WRITE/SUMMARIZE/ENVISION = write a summary (across all papers) and think of further/future/your visiosn according to the guiding research question
≠ sharing your feelings, opinion, mood, ... in a narrative style or like on social media ( we are in an academic environment)
Don´t copy/paste, but describe IN YOUR OWN WORDS your thoughts and approaches, by referring to provided papers. You may also consider further (cited) literature.
How WE look and evaluate your submissions:
All together, we assume that you have done these things at high-school before. We assume that you know how to cite in a scientifically correct way and how to provide a correct bibliography. If not or if you are not sue, well this is why we offer consulting, spaces to work as a group, why you are a team, ...
But your submission should make clear that you read and understood the papers; that you are able to analyze and distill the most important facts and aspects of the provided papers; that you can use input and build your own future "visions" including possible strategies/applications/technology ... on those; that you are able to write down these facts/messages/aspects in a logic and understandable way; that you did not copy/paste, but describe in YOUR OWN WORDS;
estimated average time to be invested per student:
- READ 3h
- ANALYZE/COMPARE 1h
- WRITE/SUMMARIZE/ENVISION 1h
