- Materials prone to wind noise, fatigue and solar glare
- Performance-based design and quality assurance manual
From intuition to optimization: Data-driven decision-making for sustainable building skins
- Data-driven decision-making for façade optioneering
- Hidden costs and carbon payback in façade design
- Optimizing energy efficiency through façade system selection
Loss-free data processing for façade design
- Complex façade forms’ engineering
- Multi-disciplinary workflows in AEC
- Design for Manufacturing and Assembly
Balancing aesthetics and functionality: Digital design of an exhibition pavilion façade
- Digital design from massing to fabrication
- Balancing aesthetics, modularity and structural safety
- Rapid iteration with parametric CAD and BIM integration
Eroded earthen mass: Multi-axis waterjet carving of wet clay façade assemblies
- Automating production of extruded terracotta assemblies
- Creating deep digital textures using waterjet technology
- Exploring extreme material and weight reduction in ceramics
Optimising façade design for a sustainable superstructure of high-rise buildings
- Embodied carbon savings on optimising superstructure design
