Freeform membrane roofs cannot be assessed with one overall roof pitch. This article shows a practical RFEM, Rhino, and Grasshopper workflow to evaluate local face inclinations, define snow-load zones, and document the assumptions clearly in the structural report.
A technical follow-up to the Rapperswil Castle case study: this post explains the geometric logic, Grasshopper workflow, and C# script used to generate a radial helper geometry for fabrication-oriented panel layout.

How can a free membrane edge be subdivided radially without creating inconsistent panel widths? This article outlines a parametric helper method that uses an internal reference point and adaptive ray distribution to prepare reliable control geometry for downstream patterning in textile architecture.

What if the most important lesson in membrane structures is not about tension — but about freedom? “Let it swing,” he used to say. A simple phrase that carries a profound understanding of ultralight construction and the quiet intelligence of flexible systems.

HF welding bonds textiles reliably when current, time and pressure are managed deliberately. Effective tool width and contact govern heating and quality, enabling safe transfer of settings to other seam widths and early detection of risks.
A small study on integrating translucent membrane columns into a free-standing membrane structure: polar addition, integrated bracing, summer comfort, and a lantern solution for the central opening.
