“Nodes and Spatial Structures”, a tribute to Stéphane du Château
Journal Title: Architectus - Year 2014, Vol 18, Issue 4
Abstract
The work of Stéphane du Château is clearly inscribed in the second half of the 20th century. He developed several spatial structures’ systems based on a clever design of nodes, which were all patented. More than two hundred and fifty projects were effectively built. Besides this productive work Stéphane du Château founded several associations in order to gather designers and to promote Spatial Structures. His charisma and his commitment were the keys of a remarkable contribution to spatial structures. This paper is a short summary and a reminder of his achievements and importance for the development of spatial structures.
