During my professional life as a civil engineer I became interested in
tensegrities. Also M.C. Escher’s impossible figures did have my
interest. Combining tensegrities and impossible figures makes
"impossible structures". Obviously for determining strength and
stiffness of these solid structures, computers essential.
Same computer-models used in FEM-computer programs, can also be used
to create Cylinder Anamorphosis. By translating and/or rotating these
3D models in a developed computer program, "impossible structures"
become visible into the reflecting cylinder.
In the reflecting cylinder an impossible arch becomes visible
In the reflecting cylinder Istvan Orosz's The Wall II becomes visible.
In the reflecting cylinder the impossible cuboid becomes visible.
