Design a roof in the manner of Frei Otto whose shape was not drawn but discovered — found by dipping a wire frame into soap solution and recording the minimal surface the film produces, then building that exact anticlastic geometry at full scale. Compose a tent-like roof of doubly curved saddle surfaces stretched between high masts and low anchor points, every surface pulled into pure tension with no flat area anywhere, thin cables and slender masts, a grass park beneath, soft overcast light through the translucent membrane, low wide view, 24mm lens, architectural photography, ultra photorealistic, 8K
