Structural grid shell design with Islamic pattern topologies
… patterns and the form finding of funicular grid shells for which structural performance is highly affected by topology and geometry. This thesis examines one such pattern through a parametric, performance-driven framework in the context of conceptual design, when many alternatives are being …

A house by the bay
… is the basic structure of the project. The structural grid establishes an order. It defines the boundaries of the house. The enclosure and spaces within the grid of columns and beams can then respond to other temporal considerations.

Aeroelasticity of wings coupling Navier-Stokes aerodynamics with wing-box finite elements
… such a flow solver with a general finite element structural model is key to an aeroelastic analysis in these flows. Earlier work involved time-accurate integration of modal structural models based on plate elements. A finite element model was developed to handle three-dimensional wing boxes, and …

An Algorithm and Methodology for Static Response Based Damage Detection in Structural Systems
… that identifies potential areas of damage in structural systems. The research aims to improve upon the master's level research performed by the author. First, the robustness of the algorithm is improved by use of a least squares approximation for determining the Lagrange multipliers that are …

Grid Structure and Space
… architects to use steel as the material in grid structure buildings. For example, rising real estate prices, the advent of the safety elevator and availability of cost effective steel members. After that, grid structures play a very important role in modern architectural history. Now, …

Adaptive exoskeleton for the integrated retrofit of social housing buildings
… original building with a three-dimensional structural envelope, the exoskeleton, using a construction process able to limit interferences on the use of the building and on the life of its inhabitants. The exoskeleton is an independent frame, carefully designed at the joint-scale to achieve …

Overlapping Geometries: 1+1=3
The idea of two elements overlapping to create a third element is a very simple idea, yet one imbued with possibility. It can be as simple as two colors combining to create a new color: yellow + blue = green. This new, third element can stand alone, but it always retains traces of the two original …
