This is where I think this illustration/design falls short. The design of the curves has very little to do with the forces at play. Mark's work at C.A.S.T. is very much about reducing the concrete used in cast in place structures. The fabric allows a drier mix to be used and the end result is a stronger structural concrete with less material. The bonus is that its beautiful. I realize that much of this conversation goes well beyond this architectural visualization competition. I just got excited about the possibilities with this entry.
