COMBINATIONAL MODEL / EXPERIMENT FIVE
Creating a new surface for inhabitation through the combination of two networks: the system of tension cable that generate and balance a new surface to work with, and a system of gridded beams that push the length of the cantilever to the extreme. The relationship between the circular pillar and the tension cables generates a stable structure that is not only interesting due to its asymmetry, but also expandable.

This structure can even be imagined to expand further, to become a mass timber tower. As a whole, this model is quite successful in generate a new space that fluctuates from level to level through the opposing cantilevers
