Force + Feedback + Fabrication. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, June 2009, Pages: 132
This research develops a design methodology for using
the embodied specialized knowledge of Finite Element
Analysis software to study the behavior of materials,
geometries, and configurations in order to create an
iterative design feedback loop using structural
performance as a primary evaluation criteria.
Instead of the 2-dimensional technology which drove
modernist analysis towards the structural
hyper-rationality of the trabeated system, this new
process should synthesize computational speed,
mathematical principles, mechanical knowledge, and
material logics within a digital 3-dimensional
analytical environment in order to realize a new
paradigm of constructible complex surface structures.
The research focuses on the development of structural
performance criteria for form-active structures and
interoperability techniques/protocols between
advanced CAD systems and advanced structural analysis
systems in order to create a fluid design + analysis
process of generating and engineering complex
form-active designs. In other words, the research
focuses on the development of intricately designed,
geometrically complex, and materially sophisticated
structural skins.
