| summary |
This paper presents the design and production processes of a real world organic photovoltaic lightweight installation realized at the University and School of Art, Kassel. It revisits thereby, Frei Otto´s lightweight principles to establish design criteria. Furthermore, we present the possibilities of computational procedures for the design of contemporary lightweight structures within a speculative design setting. Last, we illustrate the benefits of these tools for the design of lightweight structures and the role they played in re-conceptualizing traditional sun-sail typologies within an interdisciplinary student team. |
