Partridge and Tensile Design + Construct reimagined traditional rooftop barriers with a futuristic approach for a Western Australian hospital. We employed a tensile mesh solution for its strength, transparency, and modern look. Rhino and Grasshopper software were used to create a parametric model of the intricate mesh and cable net. This minimised manual work and allowed for rapid design exploration. The model was analysed for forces and loads using Strand7 software, ensuring structural integrity. This 24-hour analysis process led to a perfectly optimized design, demonstrating a cutting-edge approach to rooftop enclosures. |
