Iterative Geometric Design for Architecture

• Presented at: Advances in Architectural Geometry, Vienna, September 13-16, 2008
• Publication date: 2008

This research project presents a corporation of architects, mathematicians and computer scientists. The team researches new methods for the efficient realization of complex architectural shapes. The aim is to develop computer-aided solutions which optimize the design and production of free-form surfaces. Therefore, the team worked out a new geometric design method. The method studied provides new form-finding possibilities while satisfying a certain number of material and construction constraints.

Keywords: architecture ; applied discrete geometry ; iterative geometric design ; IFS ; timber construction
