This article is a survey discussing the application of fiber-reinforced polymer composites in
freeform structures and their impact on the design and shape generation process. The …

A novel formwork system is presented as a material saving, labour reducing and cost-
effective solution for the casting of bespoke doubly curved concrete geometries. The …

The need for methods for forming concrete has existed for as long as concrete has been
used in constructing the built environment. Creating flat, rectilinear formers have traditionally …

The production of precast, concrete elements with complex, double-curved geometry is
expensive due to the high cost of the necessary moulds and the limited possibilities for …

The paper presents initial results of research focused on developing a novel type of
formwork for concrete based on pre-stressed fabric formwork principles. It aims at creating …

To create a highly customized and non-repetitive double-curved element, this research
investigated the possibilities, developments, and challenges related to a digitally-driven …

Although various mold design and techniques have been introduced for free-form building
production, successes so far have been only minor owing to lack of adaptability, machine …

Self-morphing frustrated composite materials offer a new approach to mouldless fabrication
of surfaces of complex geometries in architectural design. This paper presents a detailed …

If we look at the cost intensity of buildings (Lee et al.,[2]) and the current demographic and
economic developments, the demands for cheap, fast, location-independent, and flexibly …
