Thanks! Planar formwork made of particle board (see the pictures at the link).

That's remarquable ! Did you use formworks ? If yes which kind ?

Thanks and Congrats !

We used the 'hanging chains' from kangaroo as center-brick and modeled the underside of the bricks. From this we made planar formwork (see the particle board in the other pictures) for both sides of each brick guiding its position and tilt. Notice the kink in the formwork of the first two (out of three) layers of 'chains'. This was needed because slight inwards tilt of the structure caused by the curved base line.

 

Also, all the chains of each layer is the same length. This means the height of the structure at the top catenary is determined by the position of the anchor points on the base curve.

This is fantastic ! How did you translate the 3d model into a full scale structure?
