Inspired by Frei Otto’s extensive catalog of prototypical forms of tensile structures, from the “molecular” to the “urban” scale, the Seam is a three-dimensional prototype that brings together strategies of propagation to produce novel and “light” tensile systems of the enclosure. By applying the transformed Frei Otto tensile prototype to University of San Diego’s campus, the Seam challenges the formal conventions of typical campuses, where all the programs and opportunities are often separated. The flower-shaped tensile prototype acts as intermediate structures that blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor space, redefining the traditional hierarchical classroom enclosed by four walls. Furthermore, the lighting and water draining system transform and activate the courtyard between Camino and Founders into a more student-friendly social space.
