One of the obsessions of the engineer is that of stiffness, so
a material such as the one seen above is no or little
interesting. Yet there is a tissue of kapok (Ceiba pentandra), a plant of
Malvacee. Not only is almost invisible, as in the picture,
but weighs very little, has a density of about 0.35 g / cm.
Here, the curious thing is that the more we use natural fibers,
more you should design in a different way, leaving, perhaps, the structure
assemble themselves according to their needs, as happens in nature.
and modified by himself, according to the needs of their "service" to the community.
Imagine a building is changed, not at the price of massive restructuring, but with simple changes
modular, especially reversible
may seem like a dream, but it has a great interest in what will be
the job of the designer in the future. And once again the nature, in this,
came before us.
