In January 2017, the latest work from art/architecture studio Marc Fornes/TheVeryMany was unveiled in Orlando’s Orange County Convention Center.

Under Magnitude is a two-storey-tall permanent structure suspended in the atrium of the Center, carving a three-dimensional impact into the vast space.

The idea for the structure is that it ‘has edges yet is edgeless’, as an example of the studio’s ongoing development of ‘new minimalist’ digital assemblies – unique constructs that unify skin, structure and spatial experience into a single system.

[[File:Magnitude1.jpg]]

The intention is that each person who passes beneath the structure forges a different kind of personal connection and interpretation, due to it borrowing elements from the natural world and contorting them into new and alien forms.

Under Magnitude is the sum of many sub-elements: a network of branches unified by a single smooth and continuous white surface. The intricate curvilinear surface forms a unified system of both 'columns' and 'beams,' aggregating to create a three-dimensional subspace. The open, tubular branches come together within a Y-shaped plan and reach upwards to form a shape that is both like a vault and a suction cup: a ‘shell from shells’.

[[File:Magnitude2.jpg]]

The material thickness of Under Magnitude is just a millimetre, thinner than a credit card, yet the structure is strong enough to walk upon.

This strength is achieved by 'intensive curvature,' which is the maximisation of double curvature across the project while constraining maximum radaii. The result is a structure that has much tighter curvature with constant change of direction, and results in more structurally performance. 'Intensive curvature' leads to the curly, tubular branching characteristics of the structure.

The studio is trying to build on and challenge the work of Frei Otto and his notion of 'extensive curvature', which determined that a bubble, when blown up to the size of a room, is more structurally performant than a box.
