Abstract

Free form architecture involves many problems of a geometric, structural and construction nature. In order to reach a feasible and affordable solution some optimization phases are required. The development of powerful tools such as parametric and algorithmic design software is allowing great freedom for shape design and remarkable control in managing large amounts of data. With these tools structural and construction factors can be integrated as rules for geometrical generation and optimization. The chapter presents a methodology for free form architecture engineering and an applied example, starting from a physical model of an arbitrary shape to a construction-aware detailed project.
