This paper deals with the arrival of freedom at the world of structures giving birth a new
generation of forms: the free forms. Its purpose is to analyze, to discuss and to comment
critically this singular fact as well ...

Panes and shells as only in-plane loaded structural elements play an important role in
lightweight structures. However their great bearing capacity will be reduced significantly
when their homogeneous stress distribution ...
A numerical method is presented for form-finding of cable domes. The topology and the
types of members are the only information that requires in this form-finding process.
Dummy elements are used to transform the cable ...
