Workshop Advanced Architectural Structures - TU Eindhoven



WAAS - Workshop Advanced Architectural Structures
TU Eindhoven
March 9-13

The architectural community has in recent years undergone a radical transformation in terms of the geometric forms being realised. Specifically, buildings with irregularly curved surface forms have begun to proliferate. This has been facilitated by enormous progress in the capability of CNC fabrication and design technologies.

The WAAS - Workshop Advanced Architectural Structures is a post-academic course with, among others, the following international speakers:

Rinus Roelofs - Rhinoceros
Thomas Wortmann - NOX architects
Manfred Grohmann – Bollinger + Grohmann Ingenieure
Axel Kilian - TU Delft/MIT
John Chilton - Nottingham Trent
Marijke Mollaert - VU Brussel
Erik Moncrieff – Kurvenbau

The workshop is supported by Ferrari, TNO, FreeFormFab, Kurvenbau, Rhinoceros, IASS, TU-Delft and TU-Eindhoven.
