Abstract
This paper discusses the SPACEPLATES Building System as one approach to constructing double-curved, lightweight, modular shells and compares it with related contemporary state-of-the-art research conducted by the Institute for Computational Design and Construction (ICD) at Stuttgart University. Examples of the tessellation geometry and principles of modularity are described and the difference between morphological and additive modularity principles are pointed out. Material and environmental characteristics of aluminium as a building material is touched upon, and differences in material use between the Landesgartenschau Exhibition Hall (ICD) and the SPACEPLATES Greenhouse Bristol are explained. Lastly the do-it-yourself approach inspired by Buckminster Fuller is presented as an inspiration and ambition for the SPACEPLATES project, and an insulated system is suggested as a future research goal.
