Shell Elements Of Architectural Concrete Using Fabric Formwork – Part B: Case Study Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Modern architecture nowadays tends towards impressive shapes with three-dimensional curvature. Part A of this paper demonstrates that with the use of fabric formwork a considerable increase in architectural freedom is gained. Diameter-varying columns and doubly curved shells can be realised with fabric formwork. With this evolution, the demand for suitable materials for the free form shells themselves rises as well.
