The 7th edition of “How virtual becomes real” continued the research into the applications of form-resistant structures. The virtual and the real were synthesised by means of both physical form-finding and numerical/digital technologies. The studio began dedicating 4 weeks to experimental and numerical form-finding techniques. The students were also exposed to…

We have recently submitted a paper to the conference: ICSA 2013. The authors are A.Liuti, A.Pugnale, A.Erioli. Abstract This paper deals with a multi-objective design/optimization grid-shell problem. Structural behavior and light absorption/shading have been selected as fitness functions. Such performance criteria can separately lead to different and divergent optimal solutions…
