The concept of symmetry has received significant attention in computer graphics and
computer vision research in recent years. Numerous methods have been proposed to find …

Architecture has always embraced innovative ideas, materials, and techniques.
Contemporary architecture is no exception. The emerging computation-based design …

Around 2005 it became apparent in the geometry processing community that freeform
architecture contains many problems of a geometric nature to be solved, and many …

Triangle meshes have been nearly ubiquitous in computer graphics, and a large body of
data structures and geometry processing algorithms based on them has been developed in …

The emergence of large-scale freeform shapes in architecture poses big challenges to the
fabrication of such structures. A key problem is the approximation of the design surface by a …

Abstract Space frame structures are increasingly adopted in contemporary free-form
architectural designs due to their elegant appearance and excellent structural performance …

We present a complete design pipeline that allows non-expert users to design and analyze
masonry structures without any structural knowledge. We optimize the force layouts both …

Self-supporting structures are prominent in historical and contemporary architecture due to
advantageous structural properties and efficient use of material. Computer graphics …

The complexity of contemporary free-form architecture has been a driving force for the
development of new digital design processes over the last years. Mainstream design tools …

Reusing structural components for multiple service cycles has potential to lower building
structures environmental impact because it reduces material resource use, energy …
