Abstract

Fabric formwork, known as the casting concrete with flexible fabric molds, frees the nature of the material, which is fluidity; hence, its tectonics. This paper examines the tectonics ofconcrete and fabric through computational design and analog methods. During this examination, fabrigami technique is used to foresee the intuitive act ofconcrete within the fabric mold concerning the computational model. Fabrigami use in fabric formwork allows the emergence ofa dynamic fabric mold system revealing form variations.
