This is a practicing design firm whose work seeks to advance Frei Otto's research into tensile membrane structures. Their site features a wide range of experimental projects. 

This first image shows an interior view of the cable net structure used in the Munich Olympia Stadium, built in 1972. Cable nets are surface structures composed of netting fabricated from cables. They differ slightly from fabric structures in that the tension is in the membrane itself. 

From the ICD/ITKE:

"In collaboration with the biologists, the fibre orientation, fibre arrangement and associated layer thickness and stiffness gradients in the exoskeleton of the lobster were carefully investigated. The high efficiency and functional variation of the cuticle is due to a specific combination of exoskeletal form, fibre orientation and matrix. These principles were applied to the design of a robotically fabricated shell structure based on a fibre composite system in which the resin-saturated glass and carbon fibres were continuously laid by a robot, resulting in a compounded structure with custom fibre orientation."

Project created by Interboro Partners. From the design firm:

"The Young Architects Program invites architects to create a temporary environment for the celebrated Warm Up music series. The canopy was constructed by stringing ropes from holes in MoMA PS1’s 16-foot tall concrete wall to the parapet across the courtyard. Just as Hugh Ferris revealed the potential of New York City’s 1916 zoning code by drawing the theoretical building envelope, we revealed the very odd, idiosyncratic space of the courtyard and created an inexpensive and column-free space for the activity below. From the ground, the experience was of a soaring, hyperboloid surface."
