Fabric Formwork for Concrete Structures

Status
Completed
Categories
Industrial PhD Project

Industrial Phd project by M. Arch, Anne-Mette Manelius

Woven textiles can be used as a flexible, strong, lightweight and affordable alternative to conventional methods of casting concrete.

The method shows great perspectives regarding design and production of concrete structures.

The aim of the programme is to develop new fabric formwork technologies and methods as an alternative to conventional concrete formwork.

The research question goes:
When combining combining advanced technologies within textiles and concrete in an industrialised, buildable context, how can architectural perspectives regarding structure, form and surface be met.

Several perspectives have not yet been investigated fully – this in regard to architectural form, tactility, optimisation of materials used, production methods and possible connection to extisting practice and form systems etc.
