Cable Scissors Arch Cable Scissors Arch
Cable Scissors Arch has a possibility to introduce a dynamical expression into an architectural space design, because it can easily change the geometry all the time with keeping stability based on the following simple idea : winding up or back a zigzag cable passing through the pulleys installed at the connection points between the scissors units.
