Form-Finding and Structural Optimization: Gaudi Workshop
4.491 · Architecture · Graduate · Fall 2004
Prof. Erik Demaine, Prof. John Ochsendorf, Martin Demaine, Simon Greenwold, Axel Kilian, Prof. Barbara Cutler
Inspired by the work of the architect Antoni Gaudi, this research workshop will explore three-dimensional problems in the static equilibrium of structural systems. Through an interdisciplinary collaboration between computer science and architecture, we will develop design tools for determining the form of three-dimensional structural systems under a variety of loads. The goal of the workshop is to develop real-time design and analysis tools which will be useful to architects and engineers in th…
