This book describes the design, detailing and structural
engineering of filigree, double-curved and long-span glazed shells
of minimal weight and ingenious details. Innovative, clear and
understandable geometric principles for the design of double-curved
shell structures are explained in a practical manner. The
principles are simple to apply with the use of functions now
available in most CAD programs. The author demonstrates how
floating and homogeneous structures can be created on these "free"
forms, particularly grid shells of planar rectangles. These are
especially suitable for glazing with flat panes and offer
structural, economical and architectural advantages. Examples are
provided to illustrate in simple ways the latest methods of form
finding calculation and holistic optimisation through the complex
interaction of structure, form and topology. Numerous examples
built all over the world from 1989 to 2014 offer orientation and
assistance in the design of such double-curved shells. Essential
design parameters, many details and node connections of constructed
projects are presented and evaluated. These structures have been
built all over the world in close partnership with renowned
architects.

Beyond BIM explores the vast and under-explored design potential
undertaken by information modeling. Through a series of
investigations grounded in the analysis of built work, interviews
with leading practitioners, and speculative projects, the author
catalogs the practical advantages and theoretical implications of
exploiting BIM as a primary tool for design innovation. Organized
by information type, such as geographic data, local code, or
materials, each chapter suggests a realm of knowledge that can be
harvested and imported into BIM to give meaningful specificity to
architectural form and space. While highly sustainable, the work
documented and envisioned in this book moves well beyond
'normalization,' to reveal inventive takes on contemporary
practice. Beyond BIM serves as a primary resource for professional
architects from practice, researchers and designers engaged in
information related spatial design processes, as well as students
and faculties of architecture schools in search of BIM design
inspiration. Likewise, those highly attuned to computation and
unconventional ways of creating form and space, particularly built
outcomes that utilize BIM, will find this book meaningful and
essential.

The construction enterprise is being transformed by visual
modelling. Once principally used by researchers and in niche
industries, tools such as 3D/4D CAD and virtual reality are now in
widespread use in construction. This book is both a survey of the
changes being made in practice and a detailed guide to future
directions for research and development bringing together the work
of leading practitioners and academics. A particular strength of
the book is its many detailed case studies and examples, making it
an excellent resource for practitioners, researchers, and students
seeking to understand the details of how new tools and methods are
applied in a business context. The 11 chapters address following
topics: - Uses of 3D/4D CAD and its costs and benefits, -
Applications of visual modelling at the work face, - Applications
of visual modelling in the designer office, - Technical integration
of visual modelling tools such as 3D/4D CAD and virtual reality.
This open access book coherently gathers well-founded information
on the fundamentals of and formalisms for modelling cyber-physical
systems (CPS). Highlighting the cross-disciplinary nature of CPS
modelling, it also serves as a bridge for anyone entering CPS from
related areas of computer science or engineering.Truly complex,
engineered systems-known as cyber-physical systems-that integrate
physical, software, and network aspects are now on the rise.
However, there is no unifying theory nor systematic design methods,
techniques or tools for these systems. Individual (mechanical,
electrical, network or software) engineering disciplines only offer
partial solutions. A technique known as Multi-Paradigm Modelling
has recently emerged suggesting to model every part and aspect of a
system explicitly, at the most appropriate level(s) of abstraction,
using the most appropriate modelling formalism(s), and then weaving
the results together to form a representation of the system. If
properly applied, it enables, among other global aspects,
performance analysis, exhaustive simulation, and verification. This
book is the first systematic attempt to bring together these
formalisms for anyone starting in the field of CPS who seeks solid
modelling foundations and a comprehensive introduction to the
distinct existing techniques that are multi-paradigmatic. Though
chiefly intended for master and post-graduate level students in
computer science and engineering, it can also be used as a
reference text for practitioners.
Smartgeometry (SG) has had an enormous influence on the emerging
architectural community interested in exploring creative
computational methods for the design of buildings. An informal
international network of practitioners and researchers, the group
meets annually to experiment with new technologies and collaborate
to develop digital design techniques.
SG was founded in 2001 by London-based architects and friends
Hugh Whitehead (Foster + Partners), J Parrish (Aecom) and Lars
Hesselgren (PLP). At the time there were little in the way of
parametric tools for architecture. SG was founded to encourage
development, discussion and experimentation relating to new digital
design environments that could be driven by design intent rather
than based on construction specifications. The need for new ways of
design thinking led to the parallel development of software
GenerativeComponents which was tested in the early years of the
annual workshops. In response to the needs of designers, the
ecology of these design environments has diversified to include
multiple software platforms, as well as innovative fabrication
techniques and interactive environments.
SG calls for a re-consideration of the design process, where the
creation of computational mechanisms become an integral part of
designing - not a task done prior to or separate from the process.
From pencil to algorithm, the tools that architects use directly
influence their creative process. New design tools and new design
environments therefore mean a requisite re-thinking of what
architecture is, and can be. "Inside Smartgeometry" examines and
contextualizes the work of the SG community: the digital spaces,
prototypes, and buildings designed using bespoke tools created in
response to architectural ideas.
From interactive crowd-sourcing tools to responsive agent-based
systems to complex digitally fabricated structures, this book
explores more than a decade of advances that have influenced both
the practice of architecture and the theory that drives it. SG has
grown from a handful of experts to an international network of
designers who are helping to define design environments of the
future. Founded by digital pioneers it creates the algorithmic
designers of the future.
This book can be seen as a retroactive manifesto for SG,
celebrating the varied approaches to computational design explored
by forward thinking practitioners and researchers. Through
twenty-three original texts including reflections by the founders,
and texts by Robert Aish, Martin Bechthold, Rob Woodbury, Chris
Williams and Mark Burry, the book offers a critical state of the
art of computational design for architecture. SG has been relevant
to many international design and engineering offices and the book
includes chapters by practitioners from offices such as Foster +
Partners, Grimshaw, SOM, Design2Production, CASE, and Populous.

As future generation information technology (FGIT) becomes
specialized and fr- mented, it is easy to lose sight that many
topics in FGIT have common threads and, because of this, advances
in one discipline may be transmitted to others. Presentation of
recent results obtained in different disciplines encourages this
interchange for the advancement of FGIT as a whole. Of particular
interest are hybrid solutions that c- bine ideas taken from
multiple disciplines in order to achieve something more signi- cant
than the sum of the individual parts. Through such hybrid
philosophy, a new principle can be discovered, which has the
propensity to propagate throughout mul- faceted disciplines. FGIT
2009 was the first mega-conference that attempted to follow the
above idea of hybridization in FGIT in a form of multiple events
related to particular disciplines of IT, conducted by separate
scientific committees, but coordinated in order to expose the most
important contributions. It included the following international
conferences: Advanced Software Engineering and Its Applications
(ASEA), Bio-Science and Bio-Technology (BSBT), Control and
Automation (CA), Database Theory and Application (DTA), D- aster
Recovery and Business Continuity (DRBC; published independently),
Future G- eration Communication and Networking (FGCN) that was
combined with Advanced Communication and Networking (ACN), Grid and
Distributed Computing (GDC), M- timedia, Computer Graphics and
Broadcasting (MulGraB), Security Technology (SecTech), Signal
Processing, Image Processing and Pattern Recognition (SIP), and-
and e-Service, Science and Technology (UNESST).
