2. 1. Knitted architecture and wind: Designing loosely fitted architectural textiles for interaction with wind

   Author : Erica Hörteborn; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Textile architecture; Knitted textiles; Wind performance; Wind; Research by design; Kinetic architecture; Geometric expression; Wind simulation; Architectural design;

   Abstract : Utilising the textile’s ability to adapt to external forces such as the wind could lead to the creation of new design expressions and functional features within architecture. Prompted by architectural potentials of textiles deliberately designed to move and flex, this thesis aims to explore and demonstrate how such knitted textiles could contribute to enriched aesthetic expression and improved performance of architectural elements placed in windy environments.

4. 2. In conversation with simulation: The application of numerical simulation to the design of structural nodal connections

   Author : Jens Olsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; 3D Printing; Design theory; Structural design; Structural efficiency; Simulation; Peridynamics; Force flux density; Nodal connections; Conceptual design; Steel structures; Design process; Digital design;

   Abstract : The thesis explores methods for integration of structural analysis, design and production in a digital design environment. The somewhat ambiguous title implies the ambition to make such integration in relation to the explorative phase of the design process which is described by Donald Schön as having a conversational character.

5. 3. CONCRETE FORM[ing]WORK : Design, Fabrication, Simulation and Correlation of Parametrically Patterned Flexible Formwork and Concrete

   Author : Annie Locke Scherer; Oliver Tessmann; Jonas Runberger; Remo Pedreschi; KTH; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; concrete; flexible formwork; geometry; parametric patterning; craft; smocking; simulation; correlation; betong; flexibel formsättning; geometri; parametrisk mönsterkonstruktion; hantverk; smockning; simulering; korrelation; Architectural Technology; Arkitekturteknik;

   Abstract : Concrete is one of the most commonly used construction materials, yet industrial fabrication continues to default to established standards of planar formwork and uniform cross-sections for the sake of simplicity and predictability. The research conducted within Concrete Form[ing]work explored alternative methods of producing concrete formwork with a simple, technical re-imagination of material: exchanging the familiar, i.

6. 4. Generative Design Exploration : Computation and Material Practice

   Author : Mania Aghaei Meibodi; Oliver Tessmann; Jonas Runberger; Neil Leach; KTH; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Arkitektur; Architecture;

   Abstract : Today, computation serves as an important intermediary agent for the integration of analyses and the constraints of materialisation into design processes. Research efforts in the field have emphasised digital continuity and conformity between different aspects of a building project. READ MORE

7. 5. Taming the Erratic : Representation and materialization in post-digital architectural design

   Author : Daniel Norell; Timothy Anstey; Ulrika Karlsson; Fredrik Nilsson; Claus Peder Pedersen; KTH; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Representation; Materialization; Post-digital; Material simulation; Chunk; Arkitektur; Architecture;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates materialization and representation in contemporary architectural design practice. Due to cultural and technological shifts, the act of design is no longer squarely located in the abstract realms of drawings or digital geometries. READ MORE
