Geometry of Structural Form

I am glad to announce that the paper "Geometry of Structural Form" for the conference Advances in Architectural Geometry 2010 has been accepted. My recent research, done at the the ETH Chair of Structural Design, will be presented. Techniques for parametric structural design, based on graphic statics, are described in this paper.




This grasshopper definition has been inspired by Nicholas Grimshaw's Waterloo Station, London.
