Exhibit: Alternative Skies at the Venice Architecture Biennale, Italy

We are participating in the 19th International Architecture Exhibition of Fondazione La Biennale di Venezia with the project Alternative Skies

Led by Professor Wesam Al- Asali (IE University) and designed in collaboration with us, Romina Canna (IE UNiversity)  and Robin Oval (ParisTech), the installation explores the roof as both structure and symbol—challenging conventional boundaries between craft, culture and computation.

From woven willow to timber shells and tile vaults, the work highlights the wisdom of traditional craftspeople like Salcador Gomis Avino, Ángel María Lopez and Carlos Fontales—and the power of collective intelligence to shape a more sustainable future.

We’re pleased to share that our latest paper, “Numerical modeling of cantilevered bigon arm mechanics under gravity,” by Axel Larsson @axla.io and Sigrid Adriaenssens is now published Open Access in the Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids (link in bio)

In this work, we investigate the stability regimes of reconfigurable bigon arms under gravitational loading—offering new insights into multi-stable structural systems.
