Architected Structures

Computational multifunctional architectural structures reflect a design approach that combines geometry, performance, material, and aesthetics. The term “architectural” in this context means that the structures are designed on a microscopic or macroscopic scale to achieve specific properties such as lightness, strength, flexibility, energy absorption, or even energy generation. This book explores with efficient polyhedral geometries and funicular, fabric-like structures that extend the limits of existing systems in architecture and structural design, achieving sustainability and functionality. It introduces design strategies that bridge the gap between science and applied technology and show the potential that has yet to be realised in architecture and construction.
