Rutkin Desgins - Sy Rutkin - The Future of Shell Building Designs

The Shell House project illustrates a way to build housing economically, which is much needed in the world and allows for design flexibility to meet the needs of people in different environments. New organic forms would be found from the simultaneous analysis for environment as well as structure, and use of materials like new metals, glass and use of spray techniques and balloon form giving ways – like the airform balloon curves, and possible increase in knowledge of balloon fabrics to help create the new forms to be used.

This inclusive simultaneous review development process provides a way of developing modifications in a form or in a proposal. A development of a family of new related forms could use the iteration of this process – a million years of time emulated by using the computer.

This is where we can go in the future to find new organic building—a clear direction where designers, architects, engineers and creative people can develop multiple forms in a new language and families of new forms to meet the need for housing, schools, stadiums, religious buildings, theaters, spacecraft, watercraft, including high buildings using shell segments as under supports for the flat top floors. All valid results would be based on the comprehensive simultaneous computer analysis of needs/and proposal.
