The FloaTree pavilion received the first prize in the “Design Competition and Exhibition of Innovative Lightweight Structures 2024”, at the IASS 2024 Symposium in Zurich (ETH).
At the IASS Symposium 2023, Gabriele Mirra and I were presented with the Tsuboi Award for "the most meritorious paper published in the Journal of the IASS in 2022".
This article investigates the ability of AI to generate plausible design options by recombining features extracted from just 40 dataset samples of shell and tensile structures, and how the trained model can communicate with the designer through existing CAD software.
