IASS yearly symposium in Hamburg 2017

The 2017 yearly IASS symposium was held in Hamburg, where I presented our paper Brick Patterns on Shells Using Geodesic Coordinates, co-authored with Mats Ander and Chris Williams, as a Pecha Kucha to the full conference.

The paper introduces a geometric framework for understanding brick patterns through their bed joints and presents two approaches for constructing geodesic coordinates on a shell: either mapped onto a predefined surface, or used as a form-finding method that simultaneously generates shape and pattern in compression and equilibrium with the applied loads. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/323014707_Brick_patterns_on_shells_using_geodesic_coordinates/figures
