Form finding of architectural artifacts using genetic algorithms. A novel approach of handling parametric objects as design variables

Varlagkas, Nikolaos; Antoniou, Dimitrios; Bakas, Nikolaos (2016)

This work aims to contribute on the form finding techniques of generative space artifacts, considering objects of parametric design as programming objects, and in particular design variables –due to parametric approach- ...
Nature Inspired Form Finding Strategies Assessment using Genetic Algorithms

Antoniou, Dimitrios; Artopoulos, Georgios; Bakas, Nikolaos; Liassides, Ioakeim; Varlagkas, Nikolaos; Georgiou, Giannis; Demetriou, Katerina; Karagiannidi, Savvolu (IEEE Computer Society, 2015)

In this work, several topology generation procedures have been implemented on architectural surfaces combined with urban forms. Delaunay triangulation, Voronoi diagrams and the recently proposed [1, 2, 3] Voronax diagram, ...
A new methodology, extending the inversed catenary form finding method of Antonio Gaudi to generative space shells

Georgiou, Ioannis; Antoniou, Dimitrios; Bakas, Nikolaos (Eccomas, 2016-06)

This work aims to constitute an algorithmic framework for the automatic creation of compression only forms of generative space shells. In particular the case of concrete dams is investigated, where the loading is non-uniform ...
