Designing surface



Skeleton to walk on is formed by rope through perforated steel column. Flexible surface to sit on is created by braiding on skeleton.

Creating with ropes

How can we create spaces, surfaces or dividers by using ropes?

Rope in architecture

Rope is used for creating places or decorating room in architecture. Also rope can be used for its tensile strength like using in bridges.


(Ontario house in Canada)
The building's exterior facades are covered with white and blue ropes, bring to mind Niagara Falls.

 

Rope is used for creating wall. It creates more spaces.


The ropes are important this building in Canada. 
Wood frames are covered by ropes. The close rope skin works perfectly to block the winter winds while allowing daylight in. Also, choosing of ropes adds visual warmth to the this building altought it is in very cold place.




Usage areas of rope

                                                            Rope Bridges
Bridges are made from ropes. Simple bridges can be made from only ropes.




More complex bridges can be made by using different type ropes or combining other materials like wood with ropes.





Choosing material

Rope is a linear collection of small units which are twisted or braided together in order to combine them into a larger and stronger form.
  -Twisted rope is made from tree or more strands.
  -Braided rope is more strong and complex than twisted rope.
We can make more strong and more thick rope with combining different ropes.
Rope is used in construction, seafering, sports, and many other areas.
Hammock is comfortable because of rope flexibility.
