Continuing the structural analysis of Gormley’s sculpture, in this exercise it was studied how tension and compression behave through the entire structure. Based on this force flows, a grid was created in order to proposed a better and more efficient one. As well to make a comparison of this grid, an ortogonal one was also created where all the conclusions of this analysis are presented below.
Parallel to this exercise, a comparison among different materials, where in this ocassion where steel, wood and concrete, was made in order to understand which one would be the best for the model.
Finally, an alternative proposal of supports was created based on the conclusions taken from the original sculpture. This new position was also analyzed and compared with the original version. All the conclusions are presented below.
