Bending Gridshell Pavilion out of bamboo

Grasshopper Kangaroo

Hello,

I try to build a Bending Gridshell Pavilion out of bamboo like the one of the course “Force Matter II: Calibration” at the School of Architecture CUHK (Chinese University of Hong Kong)

Here is the link to the video of the project: BENDING GRIDSHELL PAVILION @ School of Architecture, CUHK - YouTube

My problem is that my simulation seems to be too much like a tensile structure and not like a bamboo grid. Did anybody know what I need to chance?

Thanks a lot.

Alina

Hi Alina,

It looks like your form finding is currently without bending resistance.

See the bending gridshell example here

Hi Alina, What structural program did you use to model your design?
