Sommario/riassunto

Irregularly shaped building designs with surfaces curving in two directions ('double curved'), and also known as Free Form, Blob or liquid architecture, have gained renewed interest in the last decade due to the then emerging availability and user-friendliness of computerized



design tools in the 1990's. These tools were introduced in the domain of architectural design through a technology transfer from film-, car- and aero plane-industry. Whereas architects explored the tools' formal consequences and proposed building designs with them, the disciplines involved in the technical realization of
