We have recently posted about the “Hybrid Tower” project, to which AFF made an important contribution. The architectural structure was on show during the 2016 Edition of Contextile – Biennial of Contemporary Textile Art in Guimarães until October 2016. Now the project receives praise from the prestigious Design Boom digital magazine.
‘Hybrid Tower’ is a project within the complex modelling research framework at CITA (center for information technologies and architecture) and was exhibited within the Contextile festival in Guimarães. a reaction to the convention of stiff, static architecture, the tower asks what a structure would look like if built from soft materials that give way to forces in a controlled manner. the team describe the concept as an architecture that embraces the idea of resilience and adaptation.
