This project presents novel research in structural design and analysis of an ultra-transparent bridge made of glass sheets only in a double layer, funicular, compression-only configuration.

Cellular mechanical metamaterials can be systematically architected to demonstrate properties ranging from bending- to stretching-dominated, realize metafluidic behavior, or create novel hybrid shellulars.

The result shows that the sheet-based system has improved performance with the same volume of material and can withstand a wide range of loading scenarios.

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

Tortuca is an efficient and innovative structural system constructed by the dry assembly of thirteen hollow glass units.

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.

This research proposes a geometry-based generative design method that utilizes Machine Learning to generate various funicular floor structures with simple sketch input.

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.

The proposed approach introduces a new typology of funicular spatial structures consist of a minimal surface for a given boundary condition.

This research explores the structural performance of a funicular polyhedral geometry using experimental testing. The geometry of the physical prototype for the presented study is designed using 3DGS method.

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 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.
