ArchMoscow 2011 final assembling

Final assembling at the exhibition area. We are very care about visitors behavior...

Everybody tries touch this model:)))...

By the way, you can see few suspenders above the structure... actually this is reinforcement of these partition-walls, these suspenders NOT belongs to our model.

Our model is completely cantilevered and has only one joint with the wall for each part.

Of course, we tested this structure before... and we've seen it is strong enough!

Second composition we have tried absolutely free form...
Chaotic structure wich has two opposite movements, like two waves.

Arch Moscow 2011 run-up the model

Yesterday we erected first part of the model for Arch Moscow 2011,

annual architectural exhibition in Moscow, Russia.

But few days ago we have started reserch with something very simple.

Lago Maggiore model 02 support study 03...

 Most simple support structure...
Only basic idea about few streams flowing down the mountain play а role in creation of the image.
Also the idea is viewable enough from the bottom...

Lago Maggiore model 02 support study 02...

 This variation has onle three legs as a supporting struucture.
It means the house itself has only one level...
I still like metal as a cladding for this building... We can build wooden structure behind the metal wraping. Cheaper and faster I guess...

Lago Maggiore model 02 support study 01...

 Some wrong intersections are inside the structure.... This model is still in progress.
In this case support structure works as the underground level...

Zaha Hadid MAXXI museum details...

This is second time I visited this site. Mostly I was attracted by details... Small, sometimes invisible things but important for real construction. My external overview describes few level-top professional solutions for compression joints. It is always important for such a big concrete building.
Two pictures below are just to refresh a look.

Lago Maggiore sections...

Offf..... course... I realise end face should not be metal.... this is only simple rendering.
But these metal looks are realy cool.
I can just dream about real size casting or 3D printing with metal powder....

Lago Maggiore external cladding stady

Some of new ideas for final decision regarding external cladding...
Actually the subconstraction completely depends on material of the cladding.
Behind the metal it could be metal or wooden structure... but when outside surface looks like concrete it means entire structure is concrete...
