Author: Masoud AkbarzadehComputational 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. This book deals with efficient polyhedral geometries and funicular, fabric-like structures.These structures 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.ISBN 9783955536503.
