It presents several methods of creating PZ and TZ structures subjected to discrete optimization. The algorithms presented employ graph-theoretic and heuristic methods. The underlying idea of both systems is to create free-form structures using the minimal number of types of modular elements. PZ is more conceptual, as it forms single-branch mathematical knots with a single type of module. Conversely, TZ is a skeletal system for creating free-form pedestrian ramps and ramp networks among any number of terminals in space. In physical space, TZ uses two types of modules that are mirror reflections of each other. The optimization criteria discussed include: the minimal number of units, maximal adherence to the given guide paths, etc.SpringerBriefs in Architectural Design and Technology,2199-580XBuildings—Design and constructionBuildingConstructionEngineering, ArchitecturalComputer-aided engineeringMechanicsMechanics, AppliedRegional planningUrban planningStructural materialsBuilding Construction and Designhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23012Computer-Aided Engineering (CAD, CAE) and Designhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I23044Solid Mechanicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T15010Landscape/Regional and Urban Planninghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15000Structural Materialshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z11000Buildings—Design and construction.Building.Construction.Engineering, Architectural.Computer-aided engineering.Mechanics.Mechanics, Applied.Regional planning.Urban planning.Structural materials.Building Construction and Design.Computer-Aided Engineering (CAD, CAE) and Design.Solid Mechanics.Landscape/Regional and Urban Planning.Structural Materials.720.28402855369Zawidzki Machiauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut788083MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254349503321Discrete Optimization in Architecture1756549UNINA
