SUMMARY:Graphic statics and cantilevering gridshells - Giancarlo Torpiano
DTSTART:20240531T140000Z
DTEND:20240531T150000Z
UID:TALK217309@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Nishangani Gowrikanthan
DESCRIPTION:Speaker bio\n\nGiancarlo is a senior structural engineer at Ar
 up and PhD student at the Cambridge University Engineering Department He h
 as worked on a wide range of projects including CERN Science\nGateway in G
 eneva\, Brentford Community Stadium\, and the Warner Stand at Lord's He is
  interested in geometry\, shells and lightweight structures.\n\n\nAbstract
 \n\nGiancarlo will present a study into the use of graphic statics for the
  analysis and design of cantilevering gridshells that he is undertaking as
  part of his PhD research The talk will make reference to the wider themes
  of form finding\, the use of Airy stress functions\, graphic statics and 
 making use of structural form in design Giancarlo will also show some of t
 he built projects he has worked on with Arup.\n\n
