Toni Kotnik
Toni Kotnik studied architecture and mathematics at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich, the University of Tübingen, and the University of Utah and received his doctoral degree from the University of Zurich. He was research fellow at Center for the Representation of Multi-Dimensional Information (CROMDI), principal researcher at OCEAN design research network, postdoctoral researcher at the ETH Zurich and assistant professor at the University of Applied Sciences in Lucerne. Currently, he is studio master at the Emergent Technology and Design program at the Architectural Association in London, senior researcher at the chair of structural design at the ETH Zurich and principal of Kotnik.architects, a Zurich-based architectural office. His practice and research work has been published internationally and is focused on the interplay of digital architectural design, mathematics, and structural force flow.

ASSIGNMENT III Preshure Structure (Air-Water)
Exprimental Structures SEMINAR DEFINITION
Esta estructura kinetica se basa en los principios de la presion o no presion para ser simplemente un objeto sin volumen a tener una geometria variable en funcion del entorno.
se trata de una estructura hinchable ya que su elemento vertebrador son un conjunto de tubos que se enlazan para crear la estructura, estos tubos al recibir agua por ejemplo (llubia) hace que la estructura crezca iy cree con poca llubia un elemento como banco o con una llubia torrencial un refujui. por tanto lo podriamos considerar cono un organismo sin geometria definida todo dependiendo de lo que pasa en el exterior.
