another can of worms

using hanging chains to create the sectional form of the building (above). but what i have now realised is instead of using single chains it would be more interesting to use a net type structure, like nox did (below). i'm not really a fan of nox actually, so i was quite surprised. there is more on the building at we-make-money-not-art

but if a net is used, does it still conform to the mathematical definition of a catenary curve?

some people at MIT made a program which does exactly that! (above)

so.... this is the new can of worms....
