Some images documenting the evolution of developable structure. The overall geometry is still evolving according to the increasing definition of the model. Each cable is measured to the right length to allow precise cut and adding as little tension as possible to the supporting frame. One of the crucial aspect is to how to take up the tolerances of the overall structures given that all need to work in a state of reciprocal equilibrium without using internal compression element; all the cables need to work in tension finding their balanced form. 
Above the Grasshopper definition of the model develop in Rhino. As it shown the model is fairly simple - controlled by few control points which can update the whole structure- but ended up being very usefull to test quickly and accuratly different geometrical configuration and to extrapolate data for structural analysis.

Great stuff
I have to dig a bit into the grasshopper engine.
fab. blog. Thank you
