Free Form Structural Design

Más información sobre el libro

The book explores the evolution of irregularly shaped building designs, known as Free Form or Blob architecture, which gained traction with the advent of user-friendly computerized design tools in the 1990s. It highlights the gap between innovative architectural concepts and traditional engineering practices, emphasizing the need for a shift in structural design approaches. The study presents a solution through systematically generated components and parametric modeling, allowing for greater design freedom while adhering to rational fabrication standards, thus enhancing the structural integrity of free form buildings.
