Description

AS3302 Advanced Structural Systems-M.Arch 2

The course examines how architectural concepts can be enhanced with appropriate structural systems. The class content includes structures in nature, the modern history of structural engineering and engineers- structural models- and demonstrations of analysis techniques. Lectures are based on structural engineering as a form generator. Established structural systems such as membranes-shells-tension structures- space frames-folded plates-grid shells-pneumatics- cable nets- etc. and new approaches are discussed in depth through evaluations of built projects- current designs- studio projects and class assignments.
