Rationalization is widely recognized as an important design strategy in contemporary
architectural projects, especially in projects with complex geometries, built using digital …

Algorithmic Design (AD) tools enable the creation of geometrically complex architectural
shapes that might be challenging to manufacture. This paper presents an overview of recent …

This article develops a framework for analysing how digital software and models become
mediums for creative imagination in architectural design. To understand the hermeneutics of …

Manufacturing techniques such as hot-wire cutting, wire-EDM, wire-saw cutting, and flank
CNC machining all belong to a class of processes called line-cutting where the cutting tool …

The parametric aspects of curves and surfaces have been studied from the point of view of
differential geometry through history. Indeed, many different studies have been developed …

Parametric architecture has played a vital role in architectural design in recent times.
Research on early form-finding of architectural forms represents a notable area of study …

The number of freeform buildings has been continuously increasing, serving as a landmark
representing a country or a city. However, most of the freeform buildings have been built with …

We study the problem of identifying those cubic Bézier curves that are close in the L 2 norm
to planar elastic curves. The problem arises in design situations where the manufacturing …

Most recent developments in the design of free form shells pursue new approaches in digital
fabrication based on material properties and construction-aware design. In this research we …

One of the major downsides of concrete construction is the difficulty to be adapted, modified
and deconstructed. In this work, we look at the potential enabled by the use of Additive …
