3. Jelly House – the new Prototype
The architectural research results in a prototype of BRANE Architecture called Jelly House.
Five Points of BRANE Architecture
This Jelly House is a manifestation of the Five Points of BRANE Architecture:
1. Skin and bones as one.
2. Ultra-lightweight.
3. Unified elements of construction.
4. Unified construction material.
5. Interactive and responsive envelope.
How much does the Jelly House weigh?
A scaled model of the Jelly House with weight 1.25kg can take the bodyweight of an adult of 80kg.
BRANE Architecture Is the Future
Facing climate change, over population, pollution, we need new ways of using less to achieve more. BRANE Architecture, with membrane as the essential material, has the potential of adaptability to changes. Its fluidity in form and space, and the glow and float properties will generate new architectural expressions.
Membrane will have unlimited possibilities in the future. With the advancement in nano technology and interactive materials, membranes with new properties will become information interactive skins for buildings, and an energy source using solar power.
BRANE Architecture is the future.
