Optimal structural topologies set a new frontier in modern architecture and provide a benchmark to evaluate the performance of existing and future structures. Several methodologies for the optimization of structural shapes and systems have been explored by engineers and architects at SOM (Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, LLP) in collaboration with universities and nearby academic institutions. These new technologies have consequently been integrated into the design process. The optimization is conducted with a combination of commercially available codes and custom written programs that interface with the commercial codes via the API (Advanced Programmer Interface). This paper highlights some of the optimization techniques and their applications to the conceptual design of high-rise projects. |
