The design of novel roof trusses with shape annealing: assessing the ability of a computational method in aiding structural designers with varying design intent

K Shea, J Cagan - Design Studies, 1999 - Elsevier
A study of roof truss designs conceived by architects and civil engineers as well as those
generated with shape annealing, a computational design method for structural configuration,
is presented. The purpose of this study is to assess the capabilities of shape annealing in (1)
meeting the needs of designers with varying intent, and (2) presenting spatially intriguing,
yet functional, structures that expand the range of designs considered in the conceptual
design stage. An advantage of shape annealing for conceptual design is unbiased, directed …
