This was a scale model to observe how the structure reacts to tension.
Observations:
-when increasing the height of the space, the poles inclination angel gets closer to 90degrees, therefore the tension on the cable is reduced. In the case of a different activity or height, that requires less distance, then the inclination has to increased and so does the tension of the cable. This results with a structure of tension.
-
-If there is an opening in the center an inside patio is created, and we can modify it depending on the orientation, and the context.
