Sometimes it makes sense to turn things upside down. For example, Antoni Gaudí develops complex structures with the aid of hanging models, which he then turns upside down to see where the forces run. Tensegrity models appear to defy gravity, too. Join us, if you’re interested in phenomena like these! We’ll engage with them from both a practical and a theoretical standpoint. Your parents are welcome to come along, too, as they can help you with balancing your model.
