Terrene

Terrene

This research results in a tension-compression system with a performative geometry and material.

Shellular Fabrication via Origami

Shellular Fabrication via Origami

This research introduces a computational algorithm for translating a Cellular Funicular Structure (CFS) to a Shellular Funicular Structure (SFS) and explores a fabrication method using the origami/kirigami technique.

Saltatur the Dancer

Saltatur the Dancer

The Saltatur demonstrates innovative research in the design and fabrication of a prefab, discrete, spatial composite structure consisting of a spatial, compression-only concrete body, post-tensioning steel rods, and an ultra-thin glass structure on its top in the form of long-span furniture.

Subdivision, Load Path, and Volume

Subdivision, Load Path, and Volume

This research investigates the relationship between the topology of a structure, load-path values and material efficiency for given boundary conditions in structural form finding using 3D Graphic Statics methods.

Hedracrete

Hedracrete

Hedracrete can be considered a proof of concept for 3D Graphic Statics. By changing the boundary conditions in 3DGS model, a designer can explicitly change the internal forces in the structure from compression-only forces to a system with both compressive and tensile forces.

Triskeles Bridge

Triskeles Bridge

Triskeles bridge is a conceptual design of a funicular spatial bridge that spans over three support locations. The structural form of this bridge is derived using 3D graphic statics method using reciprocal polyhedral diagrams.
