Strips of curving perforated aluminium are joined together to create this huge branching installation by architect Marc Fornes and his studio The Very Many.
The installation, named Under Magnitude, is suspended from the atrium of the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.

The network of tubular branches are made up from stripes of perforated hand-curved aluminium, which are riveted together.
Over 4,600 strips of aluminium, which Fornes refers to as "structural stripes", form the two-storey structure.

Each individual piece has a thickness of just one millimetre, but is bent in such a way that is strong enough to walk on.
"Each stripe assumes high degrees of curvature individually and high degrees of double curvature in accumulation ? amounting to extreme structural rigidity throughout the project," said the studio.
The Under Magnitude installation is the latest in a string of sinuous structures created by art and architecture studio The Very Many and Marc Fornes, which has created similar forms for a Texas park and at the Storefront for Art and Architecture gallery in New York.

Each project by the New York- and Strasbourg-based practice builds on the research of German architect and engineer Frei Otto, and his experiments with soap bubbles.
"Otto determined that a bubble, when blown up to the size of a room, is more structurally performant than a box," explained the studio.

"The strength of Under Magnitude is...
