Structure and architecture come together in transparent glass walls, tension trusses and cable nets. MFT are passionate about the evolution of advanced structures

• Engineering concept ¨C getting the concept right is the most fundamental and important step in the design process
• Structural modeling ¨C preliminary and advanced structural Finite Element Analysis (FEA) are undertaken
• Boundary conditions ¨C need careful consideration for pre-stressed systems
• System detailing ¨C details need to be both functional and elegant. Appearance is of paramount importance for these facade
• Fabrication and assembly ¨C including pre-tensioning and loading sequences
