    Description

    The research presented in this paper is part of a larger research effort into the evolvement of doubly curved structures cast in concrete. This paper concentrates on the work carried out on the subject of using topology optimisation in architectural design and its subsequent realisation in concrete.

    The aim of the research project is to investigate whether topology optimisation based on existing software solutions can be used as an architectural design tool for concrete structures; and whether large scale CNC-milling of polystyrene casting moulds is an applicable technique for the realisation of optimised shapes.
