@@Mooncake69420 this is a good answer but i personally met internationally famous architects that run away from that extensive use of concrete to use resources coming from the surrounding site place. It could be stone from caves or wood and bamboo. The clients followed the change in order to have a really spectacular building with this new characteristics. For ZHA the process could be slower but i think that, like for Bjarke Ingels, they should move a bit from the paradigm of the "concrete is good everywhere'. I understand they work with complex workflows and with the expectation of a "wow" from their clients but this industry, specially this, has to give the signal that there is a change in process.
@@giuseppenativo2123 7D BIM is the answer. it can produce the data needed to back up sustainability. any good architect or client can see that data to realize what materials have a high carbon footprint and will always try to source as many materials locally as possible as a result. But the real limitation is what the cost/ speed of production is vs sustainability and in the case of concrete or brick... they always win. Those are just my two cents. I am a freelance architect
@@Mooncake69420 i think you're two cents are the wisest I've ever read on TH-cam in years.

He is very good at it but still i can see (or this is my feeling), after years, a lot of resistance from the industry for a big and definitive change. Thank you. It has been a pleasure.
I think they just designed a new building in saudi. Remember reading about it. Centre for petroleum studies or something. It looks absolutely amazing. Zaha would be proud
Wrong, is not a knitted formwork, because the tensile structure was not removed. The cable net and the knitted structure are working in union with the concrete, this three things are attached together creating one single structure.

Hey! The Block Research Group open-sourced many parts of Compas at github.com/compas-dev/compas - "A python-based framework for computational research and collaboration in architecture, engineering and digital fabrication." This software runs standalone and also with other environments like Rhino, Grasshopper, or Blender.
It is highly likely that maya was used to design the form. For analysis and rationalisation they usually utilise c++ coding language with their own libraries.
Wow, they re-invented concrete shells from the 70ies, except they used inflated membranes back then , which was way more simple and economical. At least, if they had done without the nasty concrete this time, but no : more filthy concrete smothering !
Meanwhile Felix Candelario did an efficient structure with pen and paper some wood planks and concrete. Please tell me how this is better or more efficient
This was a demonstration of how they could efficiently distribute pressure across an object. The fact that the concrete is only a few centimetres thick kinda shows this.
I agree you may not like all of them, but also remember that the effect may be completely different when youre actually standing in or looking up at the building. Also i think shes celebrated not for the beauty of her designs but for pushing the idea of architecture away from boxy buildings to complex shapes and understanding that construction and material understanding has progressed far enough that we can build almost any designs, which had changed the styles of thousands of other architects.
Nigel Hedley Yes. Go to Monolith Domes (located in Italy, TX) to see how inflatable core + rebar + spray on polyurethane...creates durable structures of many sizes. (Domes were not seen as aesthetically acceptable after hurricane Katrina. Tradition dictated rebuilding the old “shotgun” houses raised on piers in case the floods return...But Domes resist wind like nothing else...and can also be raised (as seen in the Florida keys...and elsewhere).
You know, I wasn't really a big fan of her work. There were some that I enjoyed and others that I really hated, but I like this one. As complicated as the form may be I find it to be easy on the eyes, I like the direction the firm is taking even after her death.
Primarily, the future has taken place striving hard to touch perfection. Its getting way much futuristic as our imaginable creating minds evolve and mould into reality. What is it? Our minds know better. Strong mind, Strong life. Creation is a trial and catalogue of art. Keep changing. This is Architecture.
So... Concrete poured into a form made by suspending a piece of fabric. When you strip away the gimmicks of it being presented in a montage, being knit instead of woven fabric for no reason at all, and it being made in a special shape that only has to do with aesthetics and introducing a mcguffin for having to engineer the support for the convoluted form it becomes way less special. We've been doing paper mache and laminating fabric to surfaces for a very long time.
Brad Cissone all of the calculations were done on a computer and the weaving was done on a machine. If this was done by hand it could’ve easily taken many months. The actual setup probably only took a day or two.
doesnt seem that efficient. you have to have two teams working on scaffolding, and putting a thousand zip-ties on the material. for a structure of this small size, developments in construction today should be aiming for efficient construction windows, where its very easy to build it or set it up.
@@Robespierre-lI ... Yes i'm a dummy who can see self serving elitist careerism & the *new technology* nonsense quite clearly. Its still a hunk of concrete covered with a sweater & the emperor needs to have one in his backyard.
airmark02 the program demonstrated how it can make efficient designs that I Ute pressure evenly. As for the water money I can only say that the main cost would’ve come from the weaving machine and the couple days of labour from rendering the design and setting it up.
That’s not impressive. What is REALLY impressive is architects paying good salaries to their employees and the company rich enough to enforce a work life balance culture. (Pay overtime pay, so it becomes an incentive to cut down overtime hours.) THEN I will be impressed.
With the kinda money you guys spent on executing some fancy pavilion, you could have built multiple shelter homes for the homeless. But wait.. Nobody thinks designing such things matter anymore, right?
No matter how far away you are right now, we can still feel your passion in the futuristic art you have inspired the next architects with
Of course sir
Parametric architecture is by far one of the most beautiful professions ever existed.
It's a lifetime dedication to imagination and construction.
REST IN PEACE ZAHA, WELCOME BACK AGAIN
Really cool. I love the tension the structure is radiating. I would love to see this incorporating some sort of self-assembly.

no but... how awesome is this??
wow....
It looks like a rather cleanly built structure.
Change your title, it`s a knitted formwork structure, not a knitted concrete structure. Still impressive though :) great video
Got to have a gimmick to sell the illusion of progress ... Otherwise its a septic tank in a sweater

Brilliant - thankyou for the time effort and love to make this unique exploratory piece.
huge potential with this software.
what is kind of software do they work with ??
Cool work! Does anyone know what software is used in this video to create and calculate such form?
I believe grasshopper and rhinoceros was used

i agree with both of you. i don't like her aesthetic but her contribution to the field is quite significant.
May I know how the balloons were put?
That's very knit.

Someone can 3d print that already
What's the fabric used
... why not spray the concrete mix ... and use inflatable molding ...
Nigel Hedley Yes. Go to Monolith Domes (located in Italy, TX) to see how inflatable core + rebar + spray on polyurethane...creates durable structures of many sizes. (Domes were not seen as aesthetically acceptable after hurricane Katrina. Tradition dictated rebuilding the old “shotgun” houses raised on piers in case the floods return...But Domes resist wind like nothing else...and can also be raised (as seen in the Florida keys...and elsewhere).
Why?
Beautiful
Awesome to this project, and their hard works
Y que es? Una escultura? O solo una estructura sin líneas rectas?
You know, I wasn't really a big fan of her work. There were some that I enjoyed and others that I really hated, but I like this one. As complicated as the form may be I find it to be easy on the eyes, I like the direction the firm is taking even after her death.
Does any one knows what stiffening coating material they used for the first layer?
This REALLLLLYY emphasizes just how bad at math I am. Unsure if my brain will recover.
WOW when money is no matter LOVE THIS my sweater is next. What's in the stiffening product that does NOT go through the knit?
It has to be the old reliable.. concrete mix...
Нереально. Просто и гениально!
Interesting, but it seems like requiring such a robust and custom scaffold offsets the design flexibility of the knitted matrix.
A modular/articulating type of scaffold would indeed provide more design flexibility.

If its break down then major thing was cloth instead of Steel plates for scaffolding???

I love it!!!!!
Wow awesome
Or you could just 3D print it in concrete using a Wasp 3D printer.
why ? ;-)
Now make it bigger, put a roof on it, ad futuristic furniture, underfloor heating and it will sell like hot cakes.
