The prominence gained by Artificial Intelligence (AI) over all aspects of human activity today
cannot be overstated. This technology is no newcomer to structural engineering, with logic …

The embodied carbon emissions of buildings are increasingly important to mitigate. Most of
these emissions come from structural systems. While many strategies have been identified …

Designers in architecture and engineering are increasingly employing parametric models
linked to performance simulations to assist in early building design decisions. This context …

Owners of large building portfolios such as university campuses have long relied on building
energy models to predict potential energy savings from various efficiency upgrades …

Addressing both architects and engineers, this dissertation presents a new framework for the
form finding and design of fabrication geometry of discrete, funicular structures in the early …

This paper describes a parametric framework for early-stage tall timber design, which
enables a comparison across a range of geometries with respect to embodied carbon of the …

This article introduces a series of significant enhancements to the Combinatorial Equilibrium
Modelling (CEM), a computer-aided form-finding approach to generate and control three …

This paper explores the use of data-driven approximation algorithms, often called surrogate
modeling, in the early-stage design of structures. The use of surrogate models to rapidly …

The selection of well-conditioned sub-matrices is a critical concern in problems across
multiple disciplines, particularly those demanding robust numerical stability. This research …

Parametric form findings of free-form space structures and qualitative assessment of their
aesthetics are among the concerns of architects. This study aims to evaluate the aesthetic …
