A gridshell is a structure, which behaves like a shell but is made of a grid. Thus, the material is not spread continuously as shells, but it is organized in a discrete grid pattern. Like shells, gridshells derive their stiffness from their double curvature shape. These structures can cross large spans with very few materials. They offer a rich and voluble lexicon to express blob-shapes.
