New Architecture Department Lobby
This lobby (and main hallway) ceiling will be formed by cross-vault of catenary. Physical/mathmatical foundations of catenary are:

• Catenary
• Catenary--from MathWorld
  

Implementations of catenary modeling:

• MIT CatenaryCAD

Tasks (target end date: 2004-8-31)

1. understanding the math/physical foundation of catenary
2. understanding particle system simulations
3. setup a model of the desired catenary system
4. program simulations
5. create output to CAD application
