Designing parametric tools for high-efficiency, computationally-optimized shell structures.
Differential Shells
GSD Research Seminar :: Spring 2019
Instructor :: Sawako Kaijima
This short study designed an interface between mesh shell outputs from Block Research Group’s “RhinoVault” funicular form-finding plugin and Milipede’s “thickness by stress” definitions to create optimized shell structures with variation in shell thickness.
