Before the introduction of NURBS-based CAD software and optimisation, the design of form-resistant structures was based on the use of either experimental tools (physical form-finding) or analytical surfaces, and architects were challenged in the articulation of spaces from the intrinsic characteristics/rules of structural forms. An outstanding exam...

This paper presents a method to design lightweight architecture out of bent timber with integrated photovoltaic foil as a structural and waterproof building skin. The first chapter explains the physical form-finding process of bent only configurations where material fatigue plays no relevant role in the long time load capacity of the architecture....
In this paper, window function method is used to design digital filters. The Band Pass filter has been design with help of Simulink in MATLAB, which have better characteristics of devising filter in fast and effective way. The band pass filter has been design and simulated using Kaiser window technique. This model is established by using Simulink i...

In this chapter are developed some considerations about the heuristic potentialities of parametric digital modeling as a tool for analyzing and interpreting architectural heritage. Observed that the parametric thinking in architecture could be recognized almost from the origin, new parametric modeling software allows to verify the design criteria of the past. On the basis of previous studies on Baroque vaulted atria, this chapter develops, using parametric modeling tools, a real vocabulary of shapes and their possible combinations, suggested by the architectural literature of the time and the survey of about seventy atria in Turin. This method has been tested on the case study of the lunettes dome in the atrium of Palazzo Carignano.
