Bareiss Column

Bareiss Column

Rick V.
As featured in books by Kim Stanley Robinson, the Mars Trilogy and New York 2140. Inspired by the artist Raymond Bareiss who created this shape back in the early 90's. I created this simple model based on a single photo in the 1991 Popular Science by trying to match the geometry. It is formed with a semicircle base and top at 180 deg rotation to each other flowing smoothly from the arc at top to straight line at base and vice versa.
