Lean – Portable Mushrooms Shelter

The aim was to create mushroom like structures that would be fitting the context it’s located in.

We didn´t choose any site for the exercise was IAAC Atelier’s. The main idea is to use easily fabricated, light weight materials which would be adaptable to different contexts they might locate at.The structures will have functions like sitting and laying according to the space they’re located in. Giving the possibility to modify the design according to different needs.

DESIGN CONCEPT

STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS    _the strategy is to begin with a simple structural loop and to try to have surfaces for different functions (seating, displaying, working, storaging, …) those surfaces where replace in the structural analysis by tension wires.
