Form & Structure: Structural Skins

In the seminar "Form and Structure – Structural Skins", special topics within structural design, such as form finding, optimization, geometry processing and facades will be treated. The students will be introduced to the various topics through lectures, however the focus will lie on the digital tools used to handle these topics. Throughout the course of the seminar the students will develop their own projects. They are asked to choose a structural skin that they should analyse geometrically and structurally but also performatively, i.e. how the skin performs in terms of wind climate, sun shading, temperature climate, etc. Knowledge in Rhino3D and Grasshopper is asked of the students.
