Design Rationalisation & Optimised Paneling

Computational freedom and emergent design tools are leading to geometrically challenging designs in the field of architecture. Designers are able to work with more complex geometries and design variations. The challenge lies in defining these geometries into buildable components with constraints in construction techniques, materials and cost. Different custom tessellation algorithms have thus been developed in response to this problem. In the first part, this book will investigate ways in which a freeform surface can be rationalized to produce an optimised paneling solution. In the second part, this book takes the project "The Oval" in Limassol, Cyprus, as a case study to explain the integrated design process of form development to rationalization of the design geometry, leading to a modular cost effective solution.
