Designer Marc Fornes of Theverymany studio experiments with ultra-thin material to explore structural strength of a free-standing structure. Could this be the start of another break-through in architecture? Read here and give us your views

Marc Fornes of THEVERYMANY designs Marquise - a billowing ultra-thin, lightweight aluminum structure that entirely transforms the approach and initial experience of a standard building entrance into a dramatic experience of threshold, and an icon that redefines the public in El Paso, Texas.

ZHA's #KnitCandela, an experimental structure, illustrates the use of a ground-breaking, ultra-lightweight and knitted formwork system to erect a thin, concrete, doubly curved shell - a system that will potentially change construction methodologies using freeform concrete.
