| Abstract: |
Several practical tools for the characterization of the optimal layout of material in a structure have been developed in recent years based on both numerical and analytical approaches. Such tools enable engineers and architects to identify forms and geometries that, by being optimal, are also more sustainable. The focus of this paper is to describe some of these methodologies and illustrate with examples their application to a variety of structures. |
