Cross Americas: Probing Disglobal Networks

Fibrous Tectonics: A Rethinking Of Composite Production Through Innovation And Exploration Of Molding Techniques And Methodologies

International Proceedings

Author(s): David Costanza

The inherent possibilities of composites present an exciting frontier in architecture that has remained largely untapped. In light of the current computational capacities and new digital tools in manufacturing, composites are just beginning to re-situate themselves in the field of architecture. Efficiency and durability coupled with a load bearing capacity make a strong case for the use of composites as a primary building material.
