First structural model, Conclusions: - change the centre of gravity to remove tension forces from the base - build in more "canyons" to stiffen geometry out

Have developed this self supporting wall system which can become very interesting structurally and

solves the joint problem and creates very nice rooms for circulation or "caves" without 30000000 steel beams.

The interesting thing is that the structure stiffens out itself through the geometry and that enables it to be self supporting. Could i please have a late tutorial tomorrow, thanks a lot. Will built one of the big models tonight.

The wall is under control, it think there can be one more iteration, but the logic of how to create it is now clearly defined. the radiation test enable me to prove my understanding of it in a more scientific way. Have tryied to do as much layouting as possible, will print out everything for tomorrow.
