Contents: | Traditionally, the goal of optimisation of structural systems has been to save material. New structural systems have been developed by reflecting on the basic relationship between form and structural action (Frei Otto and Heinz Isler: “suspended” form models for shells), by using well-defined geometric surfaces to solve structural problems (in the case of “regular” shell structures, or by combining elements with certain (geometric) characteristics. The process often took place coincidentally with development of systems utilizing new materials or technologies. Contents will vary depending on the specific type of structures or materials chosen in each semester. Structural Forms is intended as an umbrella term for a family of structures in which structural action is based on geometric form or principles of geometry, such as:
morphology, form generation methods, structural action, common characteristics and appropriate methods of analysis. Experimental Development of Structures Various methods of experimental development of structures, such as:
