Parametric Design and Construction Optimization of a Freeform Roof Structure

Kure, Johan, Manickam, Thiru, Usto, Kemo, Clausen, Kenn, Chen, Duoli & Pugnale Alberto

October 2011 | Conference Paper

In this paper, the design of a free-form roof structure is presented, approaching the problem in order to reduce construction costs and to define an efficient structural behaviour. The design process is supported by the use of a parametric tool, Grasshopper, for the definition of an optimization problem related to...

Workshop di costruzione architettonica: l’interazione tra forma e struttura nella ricerca e didattica del progetto

Pugnale, Alberto, Deregibus, Carlo, Sassone, Mario & Kirkegaard

May 2011 | Conference Paper

Il rapporto che in architettura lega forma e struttura è di particolare interesse sia nella ricerca sui temi del ‘non-standard’ (Migayrou 2003), focalizzati per lo più sullo studio della gestione parametrica del progetto, sulla fabbricazione a controllo numerico dei suoi elementi, nota come File-To-Factory o più recentemente Digital Crafting, e...
