no cladding

the vertical and horizontal lines were derived from the original barca facades I was looking at see first two pics, the horizontal ones are still a bit tricky- will have a software question tomorrow about them....I spend the whole day thinking about the structure question, the section below demonstrates the cladding option... 2 different systems, a main structure and then the deformed grid as a kind of cladding - emphazising the corner condition and acting as a possible tension element for the main structure as well.... but I came to the conclusion is too rigid and it will be difficult to integrated a deformed roof grid pattern as well ....and the thickness of the whole thing becomes too much too ... so ... there is no choice but to make the deformed grid- facade do all the jobs at the same time .... that means first and most urgently to make all the ribbons much deeper - but I think is possible somehow... the envelope is taking shape - hopefully soon...;(
