  • Beschreibung: This paper is concerned with the selected aspects, which are discovered during a design stage of cable and membrane structures, known as “form-finding” process. The aim of this paper is the understanding of the basic principles of the form-finding process and their explanation of the very simple examples. The use of the finding a shape of a tension membrane that is in static equilibrium as an analogy with the search condition of minimal surfaces is explained. The basic principles are demonstrated on simple 2D example, in which the finding a stable minimal surface passes in the finding a stable minimal length.
