Toledo Gridshell | Gridshell Work in progress

The structure is the final outcome of the master’s degree thesis:“Digital Form-Finding of Timber Post-formed Gridshell” Authors: Andrea Fiore, Daniele Lancia Advisors: '>http://Prof.Sergio'> Pone with PhD. Sofia Colabella, PhD. Bianca Parenti, PhD student Bernardino D’amico, Prof. Francesco Portioli The main topic of the thesis is the development of a design tool for digital form-finding gridshell, by a real time materials simulation system’s behavior as well as the kinematic construction process, which consists in the bending of an initial flat grid to reach the final resistent shape.
