We found that a sheet structure of a solid material like cardboard or wood , will have a hard time reacting to the wind and will not be as dynamic as we are looking for. It will have to be dictated by a kind of movable joints (hinges), and that condition would not leave much space for our structural principle to get into play.
We decided to start new investigations, using fabric as the new sheet base, because it is lighter and much more able to react to wind. On this base we build up diagrids, that will give tectonic qualities to the structures once frozen. The structures will hopefully then be grid structures with a "concrete-like" reinforcement of ice, apparently inspired by the Glass Pavillion by Bruno Taut, and express a phenomena dictated nature like the work of Heinz Isler.
