This engineering design was developed from a structureless sketch concept. Picking-up on the importance of the horizontal linearity and lightness, a cable-suspended concept was proposed to support extruded aluminium blades. The weight of the blades is carried on crisscross cables along the elevations whilst lateral stability is achieved through tensioned cables at the four corners to control sway.
