As part of the Furlough College mini-masters, Steve Webb looks at techniques of physical form finding. Drawing on the experiments of architects and engineers who were working in the days before computer aided design he looks at how the use of simple materials from plaster of paris, ladies tights and books and pencils can help inform the work of engineers today.
