Computer-aided design tools can be of great assistance in the design process. However,
commercial software typically caters to the optimisation of one objective and does not
address the fact that real world problems tend ...

Four-fold-mechanisms, such as the Miura-Ori-pattern, and its possible combinations are
investigated by completing the mathematical description of a thin paper model done by
Haas [1], with influences resulting from the ...

Proposed here is a concept for a deployable mast with angulated scissor units, for use in
adaptable temporary architectural constructions. The adaptable structure serves as a tower or truss-like mast for a temporary tensile ...

Inflatable membrane antenna structures are applied in spaceflight missions broadly. Fold
and deployment simulation of inflatable antenna is the key technology of structure analysis. The simulation method of membrane ...
A horn-shaped membrane is known for his resistance against external loads owing to the
curved-form resistant system and tensile forces on the membrane. This paper focuses on an existing building, which consists largely ...

This final year project proposes the building of a public leisure centre, which consists of a tropical garden and an indoor swimming pool, (see Figure 1), both within the same
enclosure, so the installations can be enjoyed ...
The tubular truss is widely used in the large-span spatial structures for its good performance under various loading cases. In this paper, the design of a spatial tubular truss is presented, and its loading capacity is ...

The design of transformable architectural structures is difficult in comparison to static
architectural structures. This is due to the multi-dimensional response to both quantitative
and qualitative functional and ...

[EN] In the present document a lightweight footbridge concept is developed using the active bending principle. Bending-active structures have the particularity of containing elastic energy within themselves as a consequence ...
[EN] The design of bending-active structures is a challenging problem, due to the high non-linearity of the activation process, the coupling between member sizing, structural shape and the deformability and buckling ...
This paper describes the design method of long and unique shape membrane structure in
capital Tokyo. The membrane structure, designed to create an impression of Japan's
traditional Washi paper, forms gentle curves of ...

A new structural example, suspendome with stacked arch is accepted in Chiping
gymnasium. In order to reduce the cost and to obtain a rational structure, an optimization
for hoop cable pre-stressing is carried out firstly ...
Free-form computational modelling software places few limits on the imagination of the
architectural designer. Engineers require new digital tools in order to realize these buildings and sculptures in an efficient and ...

This article presents the design and construction process of a geodesic dome built in a
student workshop as the bearing structure for an artificial sky lighting installation. The
applied methods and tools are discussed ...
This paper describes the detailing and construction of a roof
structure for a bullring in Xátiva (Spain). The roof has been built by means of
a new version of the Pantadome system. The roof dome is spherical shaped
with ...

Although the structural principle of closed circuits of mutually supporting beams was
known by Leonardo Da Vinci and has been used for hundreds, if not thousands of years
(Popovic Larsen [8]), its rediscovery and renaming ...

In previous papers we have established the convenience of formulating educational
strategies at the university level for both disciplines: Civil Engineering and Architecture,
which involves academic topics of mutual ...
