The book focuses on the recent innovations in computational
techniques, material and digital fabrication technology that are
revolutionizing the design, analysis and construction of surface
structures. Powerful analysis tools now enable the accurate
prediction of structural behaviour and manufacturing processes.
Material innovations in the area of cementitious and other
composites, glass, or smart materials, to just name a few, are
challenging architects to find appropriate forms and applications.
Digitally supported fabrication technology has taken a quantum leap
since the time of the master shell builders 40 years ago, unfolding
new potential to realize complex structural shapes in new and
innovative ways. These innovations are presented in the context of
an in-depth introduction to the fundamentals of surface structures
providing the necessary knowledge for the successful design of
shells and tensile systems in a broad variety of materials. Many of
the principles are demonstrated using new material of some of the
masterpieces in surface architecture. The book is structured into
three parts. The first part familiarizes the reader with the topic
of surface structures. It provides a historic overview and explains
the underlying structural principles and traditional construction
techniques. Part II introduces design methods, emphasizing recent
developments in computational design and analysis that have greatly
facilitated the design and construction of surface structures. Part
III presents case studies demonstrating use of innovative and
emerging materials.
