Monocoque
During a frosty December weekend, a team project called Monocoque was implemented in the area of the National Park Podyjí in a location known as Feuerberg (Fire Mountain) by the studio of M.Sc. Martin Kaftan, Ph.D. from the Institute of Experimental Creation at the Faculty of Architecture of the Brno University of Technology.
This is an ancient occult site where solstice celebrations used to take place, offering beautiful views of the South Moravian landscape and the territory of Lower Austria. The structure was created using the process of "bandaging" - bending and intertwining thin strips around an air form until the overall strength for suspension was achieved. The design of the structure was guided by the creation of static curves using computer simulation. On-site, the construction was completed by weaving strips around the trunks and branches of the supporting tree. This process provides an excellent ratio of weight to strength while also allowing for a unique transformation of the interior space through the articulation and penetration of sunlight within the structure.
