| Abstract: |
This paper presents a concept for a novel typology of computational design tools which are able to bridge the gap between the intuitive “structural sketch” and sophisticated analysis software. Based on equilibrium solutions and graphic statics, a set of interactive parametric tools have been implemented as a prototype, within an existing computer-aided design system. These tools allow for the powerful synthesis between structural design approaches based on funicular forms and associative geometric modelling techniques. |
