Parametric design: Formal and structural connection for a pedestrian bridge inin the archaeological area of roca vecchia (it)

The work done, lays the foundations for a design methodology that connects the formal and structural aspects of an architecture passing through the parametrization of geometric shapes. To carry out the steps of the design method, the design of a steel pedestrian bridge was experimented. The analysis of the structure made use of the AutoDesk Structural Analysis Robot calculation software; the geometry was parameterised using the AutoDesk Dynamo Studio software (Robot plug-in). The architectural design was carried out using the aforementioned softwares, managing to connect the formal and the structural part of the project, reaching a focus on the forms of architecture that directly influence the structural functionality.
