“…These design systems take as input a 3D model or segmented versions of a 3D model, generate rows of stitches by slicing up the model, and then combine them into yarn paths. However, these systems either offer limited editing capabilities [Çapunaman et al 2017;Igarashi et al 2008] or are restricted to knitting patterns [Mori and Igarashi 2007;Narayanan et al 2018;Popescu et al 2018;.…”

“…Nowadays, they are mostly used in tensile structures, though in most applications their complete potential is not used. Moreover, most of the knitted fabrics are produced as uniform flat sheet material (Popescu et al 2017). This way the main advantages of the technology of knitting are not used, as the fabrics still need to be cut, welded or sewed.…”

This paper describes the structural design, digital fabrication and construction of KnitCandela, a free-form, concrete waffle shell with KnitCrete, a falsework-less formwork approach using a custom prefabricated knitted textile as multi-functional, structural shuttering layer and a form-found cable net as the main load-bearing formwork. The digitally designed and fabricated textile provided integrated features for inserting and guiding elements such as cables and inflatables that helped shape the sophisticated mould. With a total weight of only 55kg, the 50m 2 formwork was easy and compact to transport. On site, the formwork was tensioned into a timber and steel rig, the pockets were inflated, and then coated with a thin layer of custom-developed, fast-setting cement paste. This paste served as a first stiffening layer for the textile, minimising the formwork's deformations during further concrete application. Fibre-reinforced concrete was manually applied onto the formwork to realise a 3cm-thick shell with 4cm-deep rib stiffeners. The novel approach, for the first time applied at architectural scale in this project, enables the building of bespoke, doubly-curved geometries in concrete, with a fast construction time and minimal waste, while also reducing the cost and labour of manufacturing complex parts.
