“…84 Within the history of warfare in the Low Countries, the term fury has evolved into a generic description of situations in which a (foreign) army uses extreme violence against the local inhabitants, though this specific meaning is not acknowledged in most dictionaries. 85 Nowadays, there are at least ten violent events from the history of the Low Countries during the sixteenth century that have received the predicate of fury, often, but not exclusively, related to Spanish troops.…”

The search for the structural form of reticulated roofs is significant in interdisciplinary Architectural Design optimisation. Combining parametric design with structural logic influences the visual perception of the shape by choosing the most suitable technical solutions. Therefore, the divisions of reticulated structures should be determined to pursue structural, material and fabrication advancement. Structural divisions of free-formed canopies should simultaneously be solved in architectural and structural design at an early stage. Choosing a proper design becomes a complicated process, requiring the ability to select a type of production and rationalise technical solutions mainly due to the computer-aided design supported by algorithmic tools. Based on searching for optimal geometrical divisions, the case study investigates the differences between planar quadrilateral and triangular mesh panelisation. The study concludes the assets and flaws of both geometry shaping methods of reticulated structures based on minimal weight and fabrication aspects. The study concludes that implementing the manufacturing method of the chosen type of gridshells divisions into the architectural design optimisation enhances the resulting free-form structures at the early design stage.

“…The complexity of the design and construction process of freeform buildings and structures means that they can be analyzed as a separate research area [1][2][3]. In the modern world, this type of structure can be called a new architectural trend [4].…”

Fiber-Reinforced Polymers in Freeform Structures: A Review

2021

This article is a survey discussing the application of fiber-reinforced polymer composites in freeform structures and their impact on the design and shape generation process. The analysis of case studies showed that the use of FRP composites not only helps to overcome some challenges in the construction of objects with complex geometry, but also creates brand new types of structures and design approaches. On the other hand, there is a problem—although FRP materials are frequently used in construction, the shapes of structures and design methods are often traditional and are simply copied from materials such as wood, concrete, and steel. FRP composites have been applied in civil engineering for several decades, since the 1960s, as building envelopes, façade skins, load-bearing structures, and internal and external reinforcement. The article aims to analyze this accumulated experience and to explore the role of FRP materials in the design of buildings with free, complex, fluid, and organic shapes. A new classification of freeform composite structures is proposed. They are classified in this article according to the methodology applied at the conceptual design stage: structures created by using a geometric approach, a form-finding (equilibrium) approach, or a biomimetic approach. Each approach is described in its own separate section, with a thorough literature and state-of-the-art review.
