| Abstract: |
The research objective of the study group Transformable Structures – as part of the IASS Structural Morphology Group (WG15) - is to bring together expertise and to expand knowledge related to the geometric design and structural analysis of transformable structures within the field of architectural and structural engineering. The transformation of such structures, intended to meet changing requirements, is done by using mechanisms (deployable/foldable) or reconfigurable components (demountable kit-of-parts).This paper explores the group’s current and future objectives and main research topics. |
