It extends the theory behind 2d graphic statics. MPDA BarcelonaTech. Registration for My Structurae. Food4Rhino. PolyFrame is a geometry-based, structural form finding plugin for Rhinoceros3d based on the principle of the equilibrium of polyhedral frames known as 3D graphic statics.

Food4Rhino

In graphic statics, there are two diagrams: the form diagram that represents the geometry of the structure, and the force diagram that describes the equilibrium and the magnitude of the internal and external forces in the form. These 2D diagrams are topologically dual and geometrically dependent. In 3D graphic statics (3DGS), the equilibrium of the external forces or a single node of an equilibrated structure is represented by a closed polyhedron or a polyhedral cell with planar faces.

3D enables the integration of Isogeometric Analysis (IGA). The special characteristic of IGA lies in the usage of Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS) as basis functions for the Finite Elements. Hence it allows to run simulations directly on NURBS without the need of meshing. Kiwi! 3D includes a isogeometric Shell, Membrane, Beam and Cable element. For more information, also on the Theory of IGA and also Online Tutorials, see our website: kiwi3d.com Please Note: Because the current state of the plugIn is on going work in progress, we distribute the versions with a expiry date.

This summer I took a trip to Dartmouth College Campus (Hanover, New Hampshire, USA) to photographically document the artistry in the Leverone Field House (1962) and the Thompson Arena (1975).

Pier Luigi Nervi in America (part 1) – Hanover – Form Finding Lab

These are respectively the first and the last structures that the Italian Engineer Pier Luigi Nervi (1891-1979) designed and realized in the United States of America. The Thompson Arena is arguably the last project Nervi saw realised. The other structures are the George Washington Bridge Bus Terminal (1963, New York), Norfolk Scope Arena (1970, Norfolk) and the Saint Mary’s Cathedral (1971, San Francisco).

Design Space Exploration. Design Space Exploration (DSE) is a suite of open-source Grasshopper tools developed by Digital Structures at MIT.

Design Space Exploration

These tools aim to support visual, performance-based design space exploration and interactive multi-objective optimization (MOO) for conceptual design. Rather than one single component or user interface, these tools can be used flexibly with other Grasshopper components or plug-ins to take a variety of approaches to DSE and MOO, including a priori, a posteriori, and interactive articulation of performance priorities.

Various DSE components allow the user to sample a parametric design space made from sliders, automatically iterate and capture images and numerical properties, reconstruct previous designs, cluster designs into families, analyze the importance of design variables, approximate computationally-intensive performance evaluations, and find Pareto fronts for multi-objective problems. Digital Structures. Leonardo Todisco and Caitlin Mueller, Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Structures and Architecture, 2016 Funicular structures, which follow the idealized shapes of hanging chains under a given loading, are recognized as materially efficient structural solutions because they exhibit no bending under normal loading conditions and minimize the amount of required members, often reducing the amount of material needed.

Digital Structures

However, non-structural conditions, such as aesthetics, functionality, and geotechnical issues, often prohibit selection of a structurally ideal funicular shape: bending moments inevitably arise, decreasing the structural efficiency of the design. This paper briefly describes how a new design philosophy consisting in the introduction of additional loads, using external post-tensioning cables, can convert a non-funicular structure into a funicular one without changing its starting geometry. Digital Structures. In building design, the concept of authorship is shifting from the traditional notion of the sole architect to a recognition of the modern team-based approach. In particular, the role of the structural engineer as a design partner is increasingly acknowledged, documented, analyzed, and celebrated. Recent books and scholarly articles present a range of contemporary and historical case studies in architect-engineer collaboration that show various ways successful, discordant, and other types of relationships impact design quality.

These case studies also often highlight the specific design contributions of engineers, which are frequently overlooked in conventional architectural history work. While useful, such case studies tend to present isolated examples in small numbers and without sufficient context. Widespread knowledge and publicly available information about engineers’ involvement in important building projects is still lacking. Digital Structures. Félix Candela’s Concrete Shells Through Photographs, Architectural Models and Plans. Félix Candela’s Concrete Shells Through Photographs, Architectural Models and Plans Spanish and Mexican architect Félix Candela is widely recognized as one of the most prominent figures in 20th century architecture.

His innovative experiments with reinforced concrete produced iconic buildings deemed cascarones, or 'shell structures', such as the Pavilion of Cosmic Rays at UNAM, Mexico City (1951); the Chapel Lomas de Cuernavaca, Cuernavaca (1958); Los Manantiales Restaurant, Xochimilco (1958); and the Palace of Sports for the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City.
