ESR07- GEOMETRY-INDUCED VARIABLE STIFFNESS STRUCTURES
Load bearing structures generally show preferred directions for channelling internal forces that depend on geometry and prevailing support conditions (anisotropy). Current material practice does not take advantage of anisotropic material properties.
ESR06- MULTI SCALAR MODELLING FOR BUILDING DESIGN
Industrial Partners: Buro Happold, designtoproduction. Investigating multi scale modelling principles for architectural design. Multi-scale modelling is an interdisciplinary research topic in which systems are modelled at multiple scales and interfaced enabling the modelling of low scale systems to parametrisise and inform high scale systems . The project investigates multi scalar modelling as a means to support iterative build-up of knowledge in the design process in which highly specified material simulations interface with open ended design models.
ESR04- INTERACTIVE MULTIPLE CRITERIA SEARCH IN EARLY DESIGN PHASE
ESR: Zeynep Aksöz
ESR NUMBER: ESR4
INDUSTRIAL PARTNERS: Str.ucture + Foster and Partners
INSTITUTE: IOA
The involvement of machine intelligence carries the process of design into a new association between two species which continuously influence each other during the search for an ideal design...
ESR03- INTEGRATING BUILDING PHYSICS FOR PERFORMANCE CONTROL
The project is focused on building performance simulation and new fabrication techniques for the application of “smart materials” in architectural construction.
ESR02 – INTEGRATING MATERIAL PERFORMANCE
Industrial Partners: Blumer Lehmann, White. The ability to simulate material performance, parametrising and calculating material properties as design drivers present new perspectives in structural and material thinking. By understanding materials not as static or inanimate, but as engaged by complex behaviours, material performance is regarded as one of the richest sources of innovation. New structural paradigms are emerging that integrate material performance such as active bending.
