Moire effects that occur in the superposition of aperiodic layers such as correlated random dot screens are known as Glass patterns. One of the most interesting properties of such moire effects, which clearly distinguish them from their periodic counterpar ...

This paper presents a numerical study on the force-deformation behaviour of masonry spandrels supported on arches which are analysed using simplified micro models. The model is validated against results from quasi-static cyclic tests on masonry spandrels. ...
By Interlaced Space Structures (ISS) we mean a coupled system of naturally curved flexible panels/strips interlaced together according to a design pattern. We are looking for a physically-based and efficient form-finding procedure in order to interactively ...
Origami shape transformation is dictated by predefined folding patterns and their folding sequence. The working principle of robotic origami is based on the same principle: we design quasi-two-dimensional tiles and connecting hinges and define and program ...

How about fastening a knot? not with ropes... but with timber panels. Timber Fabric
Structures (TFS) originate from such an inspiration. An architectural reinterpretation
of fabric techniques (mainly braiding) using building scale timber panels to design ...
