Frei Otto designed lightweight shell-like forms that feature "drop-down" elements. These drop-down features are extensions of the shell that descend toward the ground, acting like inverted columns. Instead of traditional columns supporting the shell from below, these hanging forms help distribute loads efficiently while maintaining the fluid, natural aesthetic typical of Otto’s work. They create a balance between tensile and compressive forces, often seen in his pneumatic and membrane structures.

In this example, we will set boundary points to facilitate a smooth transition between boundary support and point supports.
