Research Phase construction

Work in research groups of a maximum of 2 people per topic.
Needs to include a Diagrammatic presentation of concept and at least one exciting example of built structure.

Present a summary in 11x17format. We will combine the research into a reference book for use by the entire studio. You will not be limited to your research topic during the design phase.

  1. Structural systems:

1. curved trusses
2. Rigid Frame: space frames
3. Rigid frame: geodesic surface
4. Rigid frame: lattice surfaces
5. Self-supporting shells – compressions surfaces
6. Tensile Structures/Membranes – tension surfaces
7.Domes
8.structural honeycombs
9.pneumatic structures (optional)

print 3 copies each structure research
print 3 copies each design research (last assigm pavilions)

all due wed 24 (day of midtern review)
