Graphic statics in funicular design: Calculating force equilibrium through complementary energy

This thesis develops a new methodology for generating thrust diagrams in statically indeterminate structures, and offers an example of how this method can be used to design a form active structure that changes its configurations according to the changing load conditions.

Adaptable U-value Facade

"Adaptables" - An Adapative Facade for the Future Faculty of Architecture at Delft University of Technology

The aim of this research is to study the possibilities of adaptation in a façade in order to be able to design an adaptive façade for the future faculty of Architecture at TU Delft. In general, an adaptive façade has the ability to change, responding to changing internal and/or external climatic conditions influencing room comfort. It was...
