Title:
Abstract:	In dem Studentenprojekt “Experimental Structures” wurden im Sommersemester 2014 am Lehrstuhl für Tragwerksplanung der Technischen Universität München sieben Tragstrukturen auf experimentelle Weise entwickelt. Die Masterstudenten nutzten Techniken wie Flechten, Falten oder Biegen, um parametrisch kontrollierte Strukturen auf modularer Basis zu erstellen. Dabei wurden unterschiedliche Lösungsansätze für die Unterteilung und Konstruktion von gekrümmten Flächen aufgezeigt. Die Ergebnisse bewegen sich zwischen effizientem Tragwerk und spielerischer Skulptur. Die Strukturen von ca. 2 × 2 m Spannweite wurden am Technischen Zentrum der TU mithilfe computergesteuerter Werkzeuge gefertigt und im Rahmen der Jahresschau der Architekturfakultät ausgestellt. Free form - experimental structure - design and realisation of modular surface structures During the summer project 2014 “Experimental Structures” seven structures were developed through experimental trials at the Department for Structural Design at the Technical University in Munich. The master students utilized various techniques like braiding, folding or bending to generate parametrically controlled modular structures. This produced different approaches of tessellating and constructing double curved surfaces. The resulting works cover a range between efficient structures and playful sculptures. The structures of approximately 2 × 2 m span were produced at the Technical Center of the TU using computer aided tools. They were exhibited at the Annual Show of the Architecture Faculty.
