Description
?How does a structure and its internal and external
inputs evoke behavior, a specific relationship between
action and reaction?? During the course we aim to
unlock and generate specific structural behavior for
surface active structures which have inherent
architectural qualities. To find these inherent
qualities, we investigate the direct structural links
between geometry, grid, component and connection,
using system thinking. These unique relations
resulting in specific performance will be researched
using both physical and digital experimentation. We
conclude the course with the design of our own
specific relation & methodologies for structural design
of surface active structures and apply them in both
finite element models and in small scale prototypes
and showcase new organisations of elements relating
structure and form.
