scs: floating compression
The
location
of
this
project
is
in
Nusfjord,
one
of
the
best
preserved
cod
fishing
villages
in
Lofoten
and
now
historically
protected
and
converted
from
a
fishing
village
used
in
the
darkest
winter
months
to
a
summer
tourist
resort.
The
Floating
Compression
canopy
is
a
tensegrity
system
that
pays
homage
to
Kenneth
Snelson
the
inventor
of
what
he
termed
floating
compression
system.
Located
on
the
main
pier
in
Nusfjord
the
canopy
and
the
landscaped
furniture
define
the
outdoor
eating
and
alcohol
serving
area
of
the
adjacent
restaurant.
The
materials
chosen
for
the
canopy
-
aluminum
tubes
for
the
compression
members
and
high-performance
rope
as
the
tension
element reflects on the material of contemporary boat masts and rigging.
