Structurally informed architectural designs defined by Catalan surfaces – examples of study projects
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: In the case of effective structural forms, characterized by a close symbiosis of architectural form and fabric solution, the properties of geometry not only enable the realization of the intention, but remain the main medium of shaping architectural expression in the aesthetic dimension. Moreover, geometric topological forms described by parametric equations provide many opportunities to model structures, also in digital spaces. Paying attention to these aspects was the goal of the academic design task specified in this paper.
