We present a computational framework for planning the assembly sequence of bespoke frame structures. Frame structures are one of the most commonly used structural systems in modern architecture, providing resistance to gravitational and external …
Masonry shell structures have been built for centuries around the world in the form of arches, domes and vaults, due to their advantages like large span, lightweight, and high strength. The shapes of masonry shells are generally described by 3D …
Interlocking puzzles are intriguing geometric games where the puzzle pieces are held together based on their geometric arrangement, preventing the puzzle from falling apart. High-level-of-difficulty, or simply high-level, interlocking puzzles are a …
Semiramis is an architectural installation designed with artificial intelligence that has been constructed in 2022 at the entrance of a new Tech Cluster Zug, Switzerland. As a herald for the increasingly interwoven collaboration between machines and …
An assembly refers to a collection of parts joined together to achieve a specific form and/or functionality. Assemblies make it possible to fabricate large and complex objects with several small and simple parts. Such parts can be assembled and …
We present a computational framework for modeling and optimizing rigid assemblies using cone joints. Cone joints are integral joints that generalize traditional single-direction joints such as mortise and tenon joints to support a general cone of …
An assembly refers to a collection of parts joined together to achieve a specific form and/or functionality. Designing assemblies is a non-trivial task as a slight local modification on a part’s geometry or its joining method could have a global …
