Architectural Geometry
Geometric reasoning, advanced numerical optimization, and interactive shape exploration help facilitate material- and construction-aware design of complex architectural systems.
Large-Scale Demonstrators
We aim to translate basic research into large scale demonstrators to validate our results and showcase their potential for architectural applications.
