[After Friday, a character in Robinson Crusoe, a novel by Daniel Defoe.]
‘FREITAGMANN’ or ‘Man-Friday’ in German stands for a concept borrowed from ‘The
Life and strange and surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe‘ an English novel
by William Defoe, often considered as the first English novel. ‘Man-Friday’ is
usually a person who specialises in a variety of tasks, so much so, that one
cannot allocate a specific job position to that person.
The firm attempts to
evolve professionally competent, cost efficient solutions, bringing these design
intensive, fantastic solutions, within short reach of a segment, which deserve
professional services of professionals, but is often unable to.
Freitagmann is composed
of a group of dedicated, young and dynamic group of designers, structural engineers
and construction engineers who see every project as a challenge and every challenge
achievable. Though specialising in the design and engineering of tensile structures,
the firm preoccupies itself immensely in the concept of Leichtbauflachentragwerke
(lightweight design) which forms a basis of their inquiry into geodesics, organic
structures, tensigrity and foldable structures.
Besides working on real live
projects, we also involve ourselves in researching and developing newer applications
and methods of bringing these technologies into the mainstream.
