Masoud Akbarzadeh: Architected Structures, Gebunden

Klappentext

Computational multifunctional architectural structures reflect a design approach that combines geometry, performance, material and aesthetics. The term 'architectural' in this context means that the structures are designed on a microscopic or macroscopic scale to achieve specific properties such as lightness, strength, flexibility, energy absorption or even energy generation.
The book deals with efficient polyhedral geometries and funicular, fabric-like structures. They extend the limits of existing systems in architecture and structural design, achieving sustainability and functionality. It presents design strategies that bridge the gap between science and applied technology and show the potential that has yet to be realised in architecture and construction.
