Attached is a great example of branching as a parametric load bearing system.  The project dubbed the “Adaptable Wishbone System” creates a adjustable barrel vault.  This is a recent Architect magazine R&D award winner to a research team of Steven Markouche, Joshua Bard, and Matthew SchulteAttached is a great example of branching as a parametric load bearing system.  The project dubbed the “Adaptable Wishbone System” creates a adjustable barrel vault.  This is a recent Architect magazine R&D award winner to a research team of Steven Markouche, Joshua Bard, and Matthew Schulte
