Current Topics
We form a team where science and art meet technology. We create and research at the intersection of architectural design, lightweight structures & geometry. We design multi-objective sustainability and pass our knowledge to the game changers of tomorrow. Current research fields at LSU, Lighweight Structures Unit, include ...
- Twist in architecture and structures
- Natural spatial patterns and interlocking systems
- Non-sequential assemblies
- Bending-active structures and spaces
- Wasteless bending-active structures from single sheets
- Reclaimed timber in Architecture
