Marc Fornes uses curves to create strength with new Under Magnitude sculpture

The sculpture is made with over 4600 pieces of ultra-thin aluminium
Architect Marc Fornes has created a new sculpture for the atrium of the Orange County Convention Centre in Florida.

The sculpture, named Under Magnitude, was designed to be both familiar and abstract, and was influenced by clouds, coral and other sea-life.

Marc Fornes, architect and founder of TheVeryMany, said: “Borrowing and mismatching elements from the world, pushing them out of scale and hybridising them to the realm of the bizarre, the structure achieves a familiar yet mysterious quality, at once friendly and alien.”

It is made from 4672 ultra-thin pieces of perforated, aluminium, curved by hand and riveted together to create its unique shape. Each stripe is less than one millimetre thick but can support weight and is strong enough to be walked on.

It was created using ‘structural stripes’, a unique method invented by Fornes that uses curves to create strength.

Fornes said: “The material of Under Magnitude is aluminium, which is cut from flat sheets, but when fastened to neighbouring pieces assumes a curved shape and a high amount of structural strength.”

Fornes was highly influenced by a soap bubble experiment, carried out by Frei Otto, a German engineer and architect, which found that bubbles, blown up to the size of a room, are more structurally viable than boxes.
