Our research team is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of structural engineering by focusing on structures that transcend traditional two-dimensional planes.
Spatial structures, also known as free-form structures, present unique challenges and opportunities in engineering. Unlike conventional structures confined to standard xy-, yz-, and xz-planes, spatial structures exhibit complex configurations, external loads, internal loads, and displacements that extend across multiple dimensions. These structures can take various forms, including shells, domes, vaults, tensile membranes, spatial grids, tensegrity systems, and much more.
We thrive on tackling the complexities of spatial structures through innovative design methodologies, advanced computational algorithms, and rigorous geometry analyses. We welcome multidisciplinary inputs from practicing engineers, architects, and researchers to develop solutions that are both structurally efficient and architecturally compelling.
Join us on our journey to explore the frontier of structural engineering!
