Final Optimization
The point
of departure was to optimize a beam of
plywood and reduce material consumption, but still obtaining spatial stability
and structural strength. We started out with a simple geometrical design space
supported in a symmetrical order which gave us a symmetric optimization.
We pushed
it further in our next attempt. Placing the supportings in an asymmetrical system
gave us an optimization with a more clear view of how the construction forces
move to the ground. And furthermore the asymmetrical supportings gave us a
diverse result with shifting direction in the structure and new spatial
relations.
The final
result was put through another optimization in T-splines where the discussion
of how much material could be removed without losing structural strength and
stability was debated.
Our final
result indicates a rethinking when considering the fabrication of an aesthetic,
visible, and individual truss in future buildings. With new technology and
easier and low cost production, the production of individual trusses suddenly
becomes possible in a near future.
