Abstract

En 中文
Even though computational design has paved the way for the design of complex forms, construction is still difficult, inefficient, and costly. This paper aims to compile the most recent fabrication techniques for shell structures to create an overview of fabrication methods. This paper reviews existing, recently developed, and previously unexplored techniques for building and fabricating shell structures. The objective of this review is to find trends, patterns, or gaps in the literature that can direct future research. As a result, each fabrication technique is explained and demonstrated with relevant built projects. Moreover, each method's advantages, disadvantages, and limitations are highlighted. These techniques are grouped into four main classes and evaluated. In conclusion, categorizing fabrication techniques reveals the state-of-the-art in fabrication and highlights potential research gaps. Moreover, this research might encourage researchers to explore novel methods and solutions to overcome the current method's limitations.
