This two-week interdisciplinary course lays the foundations of a force-based design through theoretical lectures and presentations. Various examples will show that structure efficiency depends largely on the flow of forces within the structure. Possible optimization strategies will be discussed in the light of material saving and their impact on architectural form.
This course will introduce you to digital analysis and optimization tools. You will learn to deal with three-dimensional parametric software (Rhino, Grasshopper, SOFiSTiK, Karamba, Geometry Gym, Kangaroo).
Finally, the knowledge acquired will be applied to designing a pedestrian bridge or a slender tower.
Participants will be able to recognize the effects of forces as design parameters. They will recognize the potential of building geometry in the context of architecture and resource-efficient designs.
