Prof. Masoud Akbarzadeh and Ph.D. student Yao Lu lead a Masterclass at IASS 2023, sharing the recently released tool named PolyFrame 2, a geometry-based structural form-finding plug-in for Rhino and Grasshopper.
Prof. Masoud Akbarzadeh presents research paper titled: Bio-Based Composite Spatial Shell Structures with Mostafa Akbari as first author.
Yao Lu presents his research papers titled: 3D Auxetic Materials Designed with Algebraic Polyhedral Graphic Statics and Towards a Novel Form-Finding Approach Using Matrix Analysis: Exploiting Nodal Displacements of Pin-Jointed Frameworks
Hua Chai presents his research paper titled Generation of a Compression-Tension Combined Funicular Polyhedral Beam Structure
Congratulations to Prof. Masoud Akbarzadeh and the PhD Architecture students (Yao Lu, Hua Chai, Teng Teng, Yefan Zhi) from the Polyhedral Structures Laboratory at the Weitzman School of Design who presented a total of six research papers at the International Association for Shell and Spatial Structures 2023 in Melbourne Australia July 10 - July 14, 2023.
