[3] Crystal Growth Platform
Horizontal Knit Layer + Vertical Knit Layer
The fibre network provides a large surface area
and attachment points for future salt accretion.
Open the layers to see how the structure is assembled.
Fibre-to-Crystal Structural System
A lightweight reed-fibre scaffold generated through computational form-finding.
The structure provides geometric stability and attachment surfaces for future salt accretion.
Load path: salt and self-weight → knit layers → concentric rings → primary arch ribs → ground.

[2] Concentric Members
Concentric members organise the form
and link the fibre layers to the
supporting arch ribs.
[1] Self-weight Bearing Form
A compression-oriented geometry generated
through gravity-based form-finding simulations.
