Innovative systems of corrugated shells rationalizing the design and erection processes for free building forms

Journal Title: Architecture Civil Engineering Environment - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 0

Abstract

An innovative method of shaping free architectural forms of buildings and their morphological systems roofed with com- plex shells made up of folded steel sheets transformed from plane into shell shapes is presented. An interdisciplinary char- acter of the paper results from the diversity and complexity of the considered issues. Complex morphological systems of the buildings formed of integrated multi-segment shell roofs and plane-walled elevations are achieved with the help of the geo- metrical method. The method demands to create a spatial parametric network composed of many complete tetrahedral com- positions so that an architectural form could be consistent, attractive and easily adapted to various boundary conditions including environmental conditions. The net and the algorithm of the method enable rationalizing the design and erection processes. The systems proposed may provide the aesthetic and comfort of the developed built environment. The complexi- ty of the geometrical forms of the buildings and the shape changes of the roof sheets transformed into shell shapes require elaborating complex mathematic formulae and innovative computer programs aiding the process of shaping the free forms.
