Book excerpt: "Form Geometry Structure is an architecture and generative design guide that introduces a scientific framework in the exploration of forms in nature and design. From their geometric definition to their structural potential, forms are created and transformed by simple computing algorithms following growth patterns found in nature. In the natural world, these geometric forms can provide great inspiration in the design of the man-made world. Although software independent, this book presents several digital models of parametric forms built in Bentley's generative design software GenerativeComponents. While the relationship between geometry and forces in nature has been explored for millennia, contemporary computational tools bring new insights and methodologies. Form Geometry Structure is beautifully illustrated and rigorously researched and will bridge the gap between art and science, bringing to contemporary terms the tradition of the treatises on art and architecture." -- Publisher's site.

Download or read book The Geometry of Natural Structure written by Robert Williams and published by . This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published by the McDonnell-Douglas Advanced Research Laboratories in 1969 with the title, Handbook of Structure, Research Communication 75, it became the most requested publication in the history of DARL. A significantly expanded version was published by Eudaemon Press in 1972 with the title Natural Structure: Toward a Form Language. The third edition appeared as a Dover Science Book Publication, titled, The Geometrical Foundation of Natural Structure beginning in 1979. In the forty years that The Geometry of Natural Structure has been available to the public, the work has continued to be a valuable resource tool for scientists, architects, and artists. The Geometry of Natural Structure is a comprehensive work on geometric form in space. A convenient and stimulating handbook for scientists and designers, it covers the regular and semi-regular polyhedra, their various symmetries, how they fit together to fill space, and other structural considerations. Beginning with an introduction that places geometric structure in its proper mathematical context, the author then presents a detailed description of the core geometric forms of natural structure: polygons, polyhedra, aggregations of spheres, and packings of polyhedra. Topics considered include: the inter-relationships among geometrical/ topological forms, the unit cell concept, Golden Section, surface area and volume relationships of polyhedra, sphere coverings, Euler's law, and polyhedra distortions. Mr. Williams concludes with a rewarding discussion of the methodologies by which forms can be generated: truncation, rotation-translation, augmentation-deletion, fistulation, and others. The many tables located through¬out the text are extremely valuable for reference.

Book excerpt: Annotation. "Ever since architects dreamt of freely formed buildings, engineers have experienced difficulties in making these buildings structurally viable. The complexity lies in the relatively low-tech approach of the building industry seeking to exploit proven technologies prior to introducing new ones, pared with an everlasting wish to minimize cost, in an environment where simple planar frames have long been dominant. This book presents principles and solutions."--Jacket

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The geometry of Hessian structures is a fascinating emerging field of research. It is in particular a very close relative of Knhlerian geometry, and connected with many important pure mathematical branches such as affine differential geometry, homogeneous spaces and cohomology. The theory also finds deep relation to information geometry in applied mathematics. This systematic introduction to the subject first develops the fundamentals of Hessian structures on the basis of a certain pair of a flat connection and a Riemannian metric, and then describes these related fields as applications of the theory."

Download or read book Architectural Geometry written by Helmut Pottmann and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 752 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Architectural Geometry is the first book to introduce a revolutionary new approach to design. Geometry lies at the core of the architectural design process. It is omnipresent, from the initial form-finding stages to the actual construction. Modern constructive geometry provides a variety of tools for the efficient design, analysis, and manufacture of complex shapes. This results in new challenges for architecture. However, the architectural application also poses new problems to geometry. Architectural geometry is therefore an entire research area, currently emerging at the border between applied geometry and architecture. Written for students, architects, construction engineers, and industrial designers – Architectural Geometry is a source of inspiration for scientists interested in applications of geometry processing in architecture and art. With over 700 pages, including 2,100 full-color images of built architecture, architectural projects, and artwork, Architectural Geometry takes readers from basic to advanced geometry then leads them to the cutting-edge of research in the architectural geometry field.

Download or read book The Structural Basis of Architecture written by Bjørn N. Sandaker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-25 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book that shows how to "see" structures as being integral to architecture. It engages a subject that is both about understanding the mechanical aspects of structure as well as being able to relate this to the space, form, and conceptual design ideas that are inherent to the art of building. Analyzing the structural principles behind many of the best-known works of architecture from past and present alike, this book places the subject within a contemporary context. The subject matter is approached in a qualitative and discursive manner, illustrated by many photographs and structural behavior diagrams. Accessible mathematical equations and worked-out examples are also included so as to deepen a fundamental understanding of the topic. This new, color edition’s format has been thoroughly revised and its content updated and expanded throughout. It is perfect as either an introductory structures course text or as a designer’s sourcebook for inspiration, for here two essential questions are addressed in parallel fashion: “How do structures work?” and “What form do structures take in the context of architecture – and why so?” A rich, varied and engaging rationale for structural form in architecture thus emerges.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains 24 technical papers presented at the fourth edition of the Advances in Architectural Geometry conference, AAG 2014, held in London, England, September 2014. It offers engineers, mathematicians, designers, and contractors insight into the efficient design, analysis, and manufacture of complex shapes, which will help open up new horizons for architecture. The book examines geometric aspects involved in architectural design, ranging from initial conception to final fabrication. It focuses on four key topics: applied geometry, architecture, computational design, and also practice in the form of case studies. In addition, the book also features algorithms, proposed implementation, experimental results, and illustrations. Overall, the book presents both theoretical and practical work linked to new geometrical developments in architecture. It gathers the diverse components of the contemporary architectural tendencies that push the building envelope towards free form in order to respond to multiple current design challenges. With its introduction of novel computational algorithms and tools, this book will prove an ideal resource to both newcomers to the field as well as advanced practitioners.
