In this class, we will focus on structural design (structural planning) rather than structural calculation.
First of all, the relationship between structural design and architectural design will be outlined.
And then the characteristics and methodologies of various categorized structural systems will be studied.
At the same time, students will model various structures using structural analysis software running on Rhinoceros/Grasshopper, and acquire a sense for deciphering the flow of forces by visualizing structural behavior using digital technology.
