Year: Fall 2020
Supervisor: Eike Schling
Office: The University of Hong Kong, Department of Architecture
This course specialized in the design and construction of doubly curved grid structures. Through analysis of existing structures and innovative research of independent hypotheses, students discover new potentials for digital design and fabrication. The course implemented a methodology of research-by-design, fostering self-responsible, creative research based on well-founded scientific principles. These principles were taught through theoretical inputs, hands-on workshops, model making and digital modeling of reference structures.
