experimeting with catenary and folding principles

The last time I was experimenting with different kinds of approaches. Substractive or "Sandwich like" approaches do not seem to be adequate. This is because the architecture should have a more dynamic expression.
The idea of constructing the whole building out of brick according to the tradition of the northern german brick gothic slowly turns out to be quite tricky and not easy to control. Another metaphor which should be integrated is metaphor of splicing ropes. (Connectign to ropes with each other, see picture below) Translated into my design, this means that the paths the people are moving on, will also be used to create the primary spatial environment.

I still work on combinig the gothic brick techniques with the formal language of splicing. Here some pictures of the experiments.
