Material Computation: Voussoir cloud (2011)
article⁄Material Computation: Voussoir cloud (2011)
abstract⁄In contrast to such structurally pure models, the power of computation has opened possibilities for at once muddying and synthesizing geometry, structure and material performance. Where the earlier twentieth century experiments employed a more or less uniform tectonic based on symmetrical structural diagrams, contemporary analysis and design techniques can efficiently adapt a material system to address variable, localized, and nonsymmetrical loading conditions. This has resulted in projects characterized by nonoptimized structural forms that register the impacts of geometry on material behavior with a deviated tectonic system.
