    The City Hall of Monastery Lehnin, near Berlin, was looking for a structure that would provide sun protection for a tourist information pavilion made entirely of glass. The designed structure is a tensegrity, ie, it is held only by the final membrane tension. The form finding process took an incredible amount of time to find for stability and center positioning of the masts. Using computational methods for “form finding” we could not reach the goal of centering the mast loop cable. Because of that, we turn to do physical models, to study the natural behavior of the form we were looking for. After studying these physical models we went back to computational models with experimental and tangible understanding of what we wanted to build. So we decided to build a perfectly vertical tension cable that allowed us to center the mast. With this design we also managed to decrease the diameter of the perforation of the membrane or loop cable achieving a greater covered area.

    Este proyecto explora las posibilidades arquitectónicas de una cisterna (estanque) de agua flexible: elemento industrial que le da  forma al problema del agua hoy en día, sus posibilidades de acopio, retención, fácil movilización y cuidado.
    Nos hemos propuesto levantar una cisterna de agua flexible, un estanque que con ligeros ajustes lo transformaremos en cubierta,  mezclando aire y agua. 25% de agua 75% de aire soportados gracias a una estructura colaborativa entre un montículo de tierra compactada (estático) y otro de tensegridad (flexible) donde elementos sometidos a la tracción y a la compresión amarran todo el  sistema. El peso del agua activa todos los elementos estructurales. Como peso muerto, la cisterna se acuesta sobre una “cama” ,  “red” o “camisa” que conecta con los pilares perimetrales. Este peso se transforma en una tensión superficial en la “cama” la cual  es derivada como tracción a los cables y compresión a los pilares perimetrales formando un flujo continuo de energía que queda  cerrado dentro del sistema estructural.

    This project explores the architectural possibilities of a flexible water cistern (tank): an industrial element that gives shape to the problem of water today, its possibilities of collection, retention, easy mobilization and care.
    We have proposed to erect a flexible water cistern, a tank that with slight adjustments will transform it into cover, mixing air and water. 25% of water 75% of air supported thanks to a collaborative structure between a mound of compacted earth (static) and another of tensegrity (flexible) where elements subjected to traction and compression tie the entire system.
    The weight of the water activates all the structural elements. As a dead weight, the cistern lies on top of a “bed”, “network” or “shirt” that connects with the perimeter pillars. This weight is transformed into a surface tension on the “bed” which is derived as traction to the cables and compression to the perimeter pillars forming a continuous flow of energy that is closed within the structural system.

    Dieses Projekt untersucht die architektonischen Möglichkeiten einer flexiblen Wasserzisterne (Tank): ein industrielles Element, das das heutige Wasserproblem darstellt, seine Sammelmöglichkeiten, Retention, einfache Mobilisierung und Pflege.
    Wir haben vorgeschlagen, eine flexible Wasserzisterne zu errichten, einen Tank, der mit geringfügigen Anpassungen in eine Abdeckung umgewandelt wird, in der Luft und Wasser gemischt werden. 25% Wasser 75% Luft werden dank einer kollaborativen Struktur zwischen einem Hügel aus Erde (statisch) und einem Tensegrity (flexibel) unterstützt.
    Das Gewicht des Wassers aktiviert alle Strukturelemente. Als Eigengewicht liegt die Zisterne auf einem „Bett“, „Netzwerk“ oder „Hemd“, dass mit den Stützen verbunden ist.
    Dieses Gewicht wird in eine Oberflächenspannung auf dem „Bett“ umgewandelt, die als Traktion abgeleitet wird zu den Kabeln und Kompression zu den Stützen, die einen kontinuierlichen Energiefluss bilden, der innerhalb des strukturellen Systems geschlossen ist.
