Entry Description

Onda is a research project exploring a hybrid shell system of wood and GFRC concrete to improve load-bearing, rigidity, and acoustics. Using a permanent timber formwork, it combines materials to optimize structural performance—concrete for compression, wood for tension. Timber joinery enhances strength through active bending. The design studies hyperbolic paraboloid modules, using geometry and structural analysis to create fluid, harmonious forms inspired by the sine curve.
