SUMMARY:Conceptual structural design via graphic statics and how form-find
 ing frameworks contribute towards integrated architectural design - Marina

DESCRIPTION:Integrated architectural design takes into consideration vario
 us parameters at an early stage for the development of optimised buildings
 . One of these is naturally structural performance. In other words\, integ
 rating structural performance in the early conceptual design stages can le
 ad to significant material efficiency as well as aesthetic quality. This i
 s particularly relevant for structurally expressive architectural forms su
 ch as gridshells and tensile geometries.\n\nThis presentation will focus o
 n how form-finding frameworks\, and in particular graphic statics\, can pl
 ay a crucial role in integrated design and how it can enable the collabora
 tion between architects and engineers. Relevant research conducted at CUED
  will be showed along with recent examples of applying these methods to re
 al world projects.
