This research by Fay Al Khalifa, looks into the impact of using spatial installation projects on the ability of fourth-year architecture students to understand and recall complex philosophical ideas related to architecture and urbanism.

The work presented in this paper by B. D’Amico, A. Kermani, H. Zhang, has aimed to facilitate the design of actively bent grid shells, with particular attention on the use of timber.

This paper by John Harding, Will Pearson, Harri Lewis, and Stephen Melville, describes the work of Ramboll Computational Design during the design and construction of the Ongreening Pavilion timber gridshell.

This research by Philippe Charest, André Potvin, Claude Demers, and Sylvain Ménard develops an analytical exercise that identifies achievable levels of timber gridshell complexity aiming to generate recommendations to design more accessible constructive systems.

This paper by Thomas Wortmann and Bige Tuncer examines Parametric Design (PD) from the perspective of contemporary architectural practice.

The thesis by Paul Poinet, examines the interdisciplinary concept of Multi‑Scalar Modelling through the scope of the AEC domain’s requirements to improve the existing design workϐlows in industry.

This research by Adie Awad Fareez Alnobani, explores possible mediating languages that are capable of embodying traces of generative behavior resulting in geometries that are adaptable to context and design decisions.

This research by Yi-chin Lee, Daniel Cardoso Llach,Joshua Bard, and Eunsu Kang, presents Hybrid Embroidery, a system for interactive fabrication that leverages the potential of computation to broaden the possibilities of the embroidery craft.

In this thesis, we propose a strategy for generating patterns for brick laying on compression free-form shells. The strategy is based on geodesic coordinates which guarantees an equal length between its coordinates curves, which for brickwork means an equal spacing between the bed joints.

This paper aims for strained gridshells built entirely from straight or circular lamellas of the same radius and with orthogonal nodes.

This thesis aims to resurrect geometry in architecture and engineering in connection with the rapid development of new digital tools for design and production—particularly the connection between the structural action related to the design of the geometrical patterns on shells structures are treated.

In this thesis, which marks an important step in a personal research adventure initiated in 2010, we try to embrace the issue of the design of elastic gridshells in all its complexity, addressing both theoretical, technical and constructive aspects.

The goal of this research is to develop a computational design to production tool for vaulted timber reciprocal frame structures using an optimized connection typology and a sustainable timber-based material.

This paper demonstrates a generative design process based on collaboration between designers, robotic tools, advanced software, and nuanced material behavior.

This paper demonstrates how to construct arbitrary smooth free-form surface geometries by weaving carefully optimized curved ribbons. They present an optimization-based approach to solving the inverse design problem for such woven structures.

This paper explores the possibilities of active kirigami geometry — folding with the addition of strategically placed cuts and holes — through geometry, simulations, and responsive materials exploration.

In this paper the construction development of a kinetic hybrid structural prototype and its analysis as regards possible structural configurations, based on parametric-associative design logic are presented.

This paper presents Bistable Auxetic Surface Structures, a novel deployable material
system based on optimized bistable auxetic cells.

This research, in the field of wooden curved surfaces fabrication, move from developable surface manufacturing and from “paneling” to “kerfing”. This technique consists in transforming a rigid material in a flexible one and the
problem to solve is how to cut the flat shape to obtain the design surface.

This paper describes a design framework that is presented for creating self-supporting membrane tenseg rity shell structures with spatial openings, enabled by novel reciprocally tessellated strut configurations.
