Abstract

The objective of this research is to investigate the possibilities of creating an algorithmic design for structural glass covers, to create an innovative methodology with a broad spectrum of potential applications. The methodology should stimulate the easy use of glass as a structural material. It should also contribute to the bridging of the gap between architects and structural engineers and take advantage of the potential of parametric design for architectural and structural purposes.
