Using interactive evolution to design behaviors for non-deterministic self-organized construction (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Self-organizing construction is an emerging subdomain for on-site construction robots. This not only presents new challenges for robotics, but due to the stochasticity involved in such systems, impacts the modeling and prediction of resulting built s...

The UWE research pavilion 2016 (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper describes the design, fabrication and assembly of an elastic gridshell by staff and students at The University of The West of England (UWE) in collaboration with Format Engineers. Whilst timber lath gridshells are traditionally formed from... Read More about The UWE research pavilion 2016.

Evolving parametric models using genetic programming with artificial selection (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Evolutionary methods with artificial selection have been shown to be a useful computer-human technique for exploring wide design spaces with unknown goals. This paper investigates a similar approach in the evolution of visual programs currently used... Read More about Evolving parametric models using genetic programming with artificial selection.

Engineering Archilace (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Archilace is the name of a new construction technique for generating spatial structures originally developed by the artists Loop.pH. This paper introduces the original method and subsequent collaborative work between Loop.pH and Ramboll Computational... Read More about Engineering Archilace.

Calibrated modelling of form-active structures
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The design and analysis of a bending active, thin timber shell structure using a self-written physics based structural analysis solver, K2Engineering.

Structural form finding using zero-length springs with dynamic mass
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper describes a new method for the form-finding of funicular structures in two or three dimensions using a zero-length spring system with dynamic nodal masses. The resulting found geometry consists of purely axial forces under self-weight, wit... Read More about Structural form finding using zero-length springs with dynamic mass.
