*** Featuring a foreword by Pritzker Prize Winner Shigeru Ban ***Bringing together experts from research and practice, Shell Structures for Architecture: Form Finding and Optimization presents contemporary design methods for shell and gridshell structures, covering formfinding and structural optimization techniques. It introduces architecture and engineering practitioners and students to structural shells and provides computational techniques to develop complex curved structural surfaces, in the form of mathematics, computer algorithms, and design case studies.* Part I introduces the topic of shells, tracing the ancient relationship between structural form and forces, the basics of shell behaviour, and the evolution of formfinding and structural optimization techniques.* Part II familiarizes the reader with formfinding techniques to explore expressive structural geometries, covering the force density method, thrust network analysis, dynamic relaxation and particlespring systems.* Part III focuses on shell shape and topology optimization, and provides a deeper understanding of gradientbased methods and metaheuristic techniques.* Part IV contains precedent studies of realised shells and gridshells describing their innovative design and construction methods.
