Shell Structures for Architecture: Form Finding and Optimization by Sigrid Adriaenssens, Philippe Block, Diederik Veenendaal and Chris Williams


* Featuring a foreword by Pritzker Prize Winner Shigeru Ban *

Bringing together experts from research and practice, Shell Structures for Architecture: Form Finding and Optimization presents contemporary design methods for shell and gridshell structures, covering form-finding and structural optimization techniques.

It introduces architecture and engineering practitioners and students to structural shells and provides computational techniques to develop complex curved structural surfaces, in the form of mathematics, computer algorithms, and design case studies.
