The Los Angeles Stadium’s doubly curved skin is composed of over 35,000 unique triangular panels covering 296,502 square feet of surface area. The
FTI touched down in Minneapolis to confront themes central to the ever-evolving facade: energy-efficiency and sustainability, digital technology, kinetic and dynamic components, and material evolution.
The performative and visual aspects of curved forming/bending thin “formable” planar materials is explored. Early tests for deflection indicate that
Connections, those transitions between systems and materials, are critically important when the surfaces are curved or complex. Well-designed
This paper presents a summary of the industry advances beyond T304 and T316 austenitic stainless steels. The greater availability of precipitation
