This project explores the use of fibre reinforced composites beyond their current framework.  In addition to traditional qualities of lightness and strength, composites allow the graded specification and variation of their behaviour under loading.  For architects and engineers, the implication is of a practice built around the precise specfication of material properties to meet specific local performance conditions - a new level of design operation in which global performance can be tailored at the material scale.

Composite Territories explores why architects might want to connect the design of material with the design of structures, and the predictive models that could support engagement with the relations between material, element and structure.

Material Specification (stiffness represented by colour).

In the design of gridshell structures, 3D form is normally determined by the geometric complexity of the node. But by activating, specifying and varying the ability for GFRP to bend, a complex form can be linked instead to the material level and achieved with geometrically simple nodes and elements.  To achieve this, the project links direct empirical testing with predictive digital modeling to connect global design intentions and behaviour to local variation of bending stiffness.

The local specification of each beam is guided by structural analysis and consideration of the stability of the structure as a w
