Along with the new architectural freedoms offered by contemporary technologies come new questions. increasing importance has been given to the role of parametric design, a process based not on fixed metric quantities but on consistent relationships between objects, allowing changes in a single element to propagate corresponding changes throughout the system. In parallel, recent developments in algorithmic design processes have opened the way to scripting and other procedures that allow complex forms to be grown from simple iterative methods while preserving specified qualities. If the parametric is a technique for the holistic control and manipulation of design objects at all scales from part to whole, the algorithmic is a method of generation, producing complex forms and structures based on simple component rules. The question today is how these related but distinct techniques - the parametric and the algorithmic - will affect design practice. Leading practitioners of parametric and algorithmic design will be invited to contribute research and projects that illustrate their view on the new possibilities offered by these new technologies, their similarities and their differences. Rather than a compilation of individual projects, the next Verb monograph presents the work of each author as an extended contribution, through research and projects, that reflects a particular attitude towards the potentials of parametric and algorithmic design today.

Tokyo,: TOTO Shuppan., 2005 In the international field of contemporary structural design, the theme has now become the creation of new three-dimensional architectural structures that possess free, complex, mutable, fluid and organic characteristics. Here Mutsuro Sasaki provides an introduction to the work and challenges that structural engineers face through an examination of six collaborative projects with three exemplary Japanese architects Ð Arata Isozaki, Toyo Ito and SANAA.

Hi,
I am looking for standard on welding BS EN ISO 17659: 2004 (Welding. Multilingual terms for welded joints with illustrations ). ISBN: 0580439941

Can somebody help me out in finding...

Thanks in advance....

Dear Friends;

According to solve Iranian codes ,Have you got solve problem paper or sample for wind loads and earth-quake for non-building equipment?

Furthermore, how much force 28 m/sn wind load occurs for Iranian wind load?

Thanks for advance...

Sincerelly...

Dear Friends;

Can I ask you how do you solve Iranian non-building equipment for wind load or earth-quake load?

How will I find this codes or regulations or anyone can explain me?

In addition, I can search the web from google standart 2008 and I've heard for the first time standart 2800 i wanna look into this regulation finally i can obtain this pdf.

Dear friends
I need drawings of any cable stayed bridge. I am especially interested in details like Cables, Anchors with deck and pylons, steel deck details etc.
Thanks.

I need them because in a few months I will start the design of new bridge, crossing a river with 120m span and I want to do something spectacular. Any help, advice is most welcome.

can someone share this book please:
