Touching Soap Films
written by Prof. Dr. Konrad Polthier
This webpage from the Free University in Berlin introduces a large site on the use of tension structures in architecture, and the relationship of these structures to soap films. Various pages discuss the applications of soap film shapes to architecture and crystallography, and also how they are investigated by mathematicians. The numerous sections contain many photographs and illustrations.
