    SNOW ON HYPAR GRIDSHELL-MEMBRANE ROOFS A group of small scale (nano) models of 3D printed flexible plastic and latticed wooden gridshells have been left outdoors exposed to snow and frozen rain storms in the New England area around Boston, USA. Interesting observations are made of how the snow accumulates over and around the different types of Hypar Roofs.
