| Abstract: |
This paper will examine the impact of big Data on structural engineering design. With continuing advancements that liberate the geometrical form, as well as the increasing structural efficiency created by digital fabrication, structural engineers are dealing with unprecedented amount of data related to both geometry and analysis. Taking as a case study the work done on Jewel, a 12,500m² gridshell at Changi Airport in Singapore, we will examine strategies and opportunities for new ways of working with the large amount of information and options generated by a project of this size and scope. |
