Gaudí's hanging model (3D)

About this app

Chains with weight bags find the shape of pure tension by themselves; inverted they become a stone arch in pure compression, while the semicircle next to it cracks at the marked points. Single arch, a row of arches and the chain net of the Colònia Güell. Exhibit-ready.
