<p>This is an experimental and computational exploration of structural systems that transform between states of rigidity and flexibility. The goal is…
It may be difficult for modern man to believe that what is known as handicraft was once the advanced manufacturing of the day. These techniques were
“The digital transformation will change everything” – with this quote in mind a deep look into the current facade business will be given with a
Today's evolving digital tools allow designers to be more creative in designing new forms and geometries. Adapting similar tools to the fabrication
This paper outlines the successful implementation of digital workflows between the design team composed of Architect, Structural Engineer and Project
Large format, steel-stud framed “megapanel” facades with rainscreen cladding create uniquely complicated requirements for digital documentation and
Developments in performative computational analysis, mass customization, and complex form manipulation revolutionized building envelope design
Connections, those transitions between systems and materials, are critically important when the surfaces are curved or complex. Well-designed
In 1959 Heinz Isler challenged the world of concrete shell design by proposing a series of shapes for shells that were very different from what most
What does the fourth industrial revolution mean to the design and engineering of facades of the future? We are experiencing a global technological
Traditional approach for engineering the facade is building an isolated analysis model. However, it inhibits a dynamic design process where
