Structural Design VI
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 15:42:22
Abstract
This course teaches computational tools for structural design. After an introduction in the basics of 3D modelling, as well as parametric design, the course focuses on structural form-finding, simulation and optimisation methods. These topics are covered with the aid of design-oriented exercises and built examples showcasing the use of these advanced methods in research and construction projects.
Objective
- ability to 3D model complex geometry - knowledge of parametric design tools - basic skills in Python scripting - introductory experience in different form-finding methods - exposure to basics of computational simulation and optimisation of structures - application of computational methods to design project
