Eye Beacon and Prototype II are working models for a multi-functional membrane structure system, called Cirrus, that is being further developed to serve as a façade, a second skin or a shelter structure. The Cirrus System consists of 3D parametric panels of high-performance PTFE textile spanning frames made of custom-designed stainless steel nodes and aluminum profiles. In addition to its unique appearance, Cirrus System is planned to be integrated with innovative lighting, solar-, and rainwater harvesting features.
