and
Membrane
Structures
Parametric
Space
Frames/Gridshells
Description:
Parametric Space
Frames/Gridshells
Examples:
(The Pods)
Description: Flexible
membranes (e.g.,
ETFE, PTFE) tensioned
over cable nets or
frames, enabling
lightweight, dynamic
forms.
Examples:
The Munich Olympic
Stadium (1972)
Description: Structures
with movable
components (e.g.,
retractable roofs,
responsive façades)
that adjust to
environmental
conditions.
Examples: Al Bahr
Towers
Description:
Complex geometries
printed layer-by-
layer, minimizing
material waste.
Examples:
Icon
Description: Diagonal
steel grids replacing
vertical columns,
offering strength and
aesthetic appeal.
Examples:
The Gherkin

2. Composite
Material
Systems
Thin-Shell
and
Curved
Surfaces
Biomimetic
Structures
Modular/Prefabricated
Components
Hybrid
Structural
Systems
Description:
Combinations for
balanced
performance.
Examples:
(Shanghai Tower)
Description: Factory-
made modules
assembled on-site,
reducing waste and
time.
Examples:
MAD’s Harbin Opera
House.)
Description: Nature-
inspired designs (e.g.,
tree-like columns,
honeycomb cores).
Examples:
The Eden Project’s
biome domes
Description: Minimal-
material curved forms
(concrete, composites)
for strength.
Examples:
Eladio Dieste’s
Gaussian vaults
Description: Advanced
materials (carbon fiber,
smart alloys) enabling
novel forms.
Examples:
The Beijing National
Stadium
