This project explores the potential of minimal surface geometry as a space-making device, investigating the equilibrium of compressive and tensile forces in the endeavour to produce a spatially and visually-compelling installation to a large central atrium space. In mathematics, a Seifert surface is one where the boundary is given a knot or link. We expanded this notion of continuous surface in the vertical dimension. The result is a fluid vertical extrusion of doubly-curved surfaces drawing a continuous revolution in 3D space.
