title

Trusset: Parallel Development of Software and Construction Systems for Space-Truss Structures

source

International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 2 - no. 2

summary

This paper documents our current progress on theparallel development of a building system andcorresponding agent-based software design tools;together the two produce a seamless pipeline fromdesign to fabrication and assembly. The building systemis a clad differential space-truss designed forfabrication entirely with computer numericallycontrolled (CNC) linear cutting devices such as CNClaser cutters or two-axis mills. The softwarecomponent is a set of agent-based design tools fordeveloping surfaces and envelopes formally suitable tobe built using our space-truss system.
