Parametric modelling tools have allowed architects and engineers to explore complex geometries with relative ease at the early stage of the design process. Building designs are commonly created by authoring an abstract graph representation that gener... Read More about Thinking Topologically at Early Stage Parametric Design.

It has been over 30 years since the original conception of the 'Generator' by Cedric Price. A project that in his own words was ?little to do with problem solving, rather creating the desirable conditions and opportunities hitherto thought impossible... Read More about The Generator 2.0.

The TRADA pavilion: A timber plate funicular shell (2013)
Book Chapter
Harding, J., & Lewis, H. (2013). The TRADA pavilion: A timber plate funicular shell. In J. Obrebski, & R. Tarczewski (Eds.),

This paper describes the design and construction of the TRADA (Timber Research and Development Association) Pavilion by Ramboll Computational Design. The design process combined a zero-length spring funicular form-finding approach with a planar polyg... Read More about The TRADA pavilion: A timber plate funicular shell.
