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.
