The workshop will start on Monday, 14th of May For those who arrive earlier in Berlin an icebreaker party is organized on 13^th of May which is Sunday evening at the Technische Universität Berlin.

In addition to a comprehensive programme of lectures presented in English by key figures from the membrane structure industry and academia, opportunity for the study and hands-on development of practical case-studies in an informal tutorial environment is provided.

During the afternoons the hands-on workshop ran with opportunities for both physical and computational modelling under the guidance of the workshop team. Each participant will work with advanced and High-End Software products.

In parallel to this one joint project about the roofing of one of the Geodätenstand platforms will be discussed with the participants in the afternoons. On the afternoon of the last workshop day (16^th May) this roofing will be presented by the students of the Textile Roofs 2012 students working week during a parting drink.

Next to the above mentioned joint project during the afternoons the participants were guided by one of the workshop organizers through three different strands in three groups:

 

	Physical Modelling
	Hands-on Formfinder Workshop
	Easy Modelling / Hands-on

This gives opportunity to all participants to work on different subjects each afternoon.
