Stereotomic Fiber Architecture: Applicazione delle nuove tecniche costruttive in Fibra per gli spazi complessi stereotomici

The aim of this research is to define the new frontiers of fibre architecture starting from the steroethomic field and converting the heaviness of stone into the lightness of fibre filament. This will be achieved in two ways: a theoretical-critical and a practical-experimental. The thesis, therefore, provides a wide coverage of stereotomic issues related to the development of a new architecture, that in fiber in various fields from design to architectural systems. The same themes are at the heart of the conceptual and operational reflections which have led to the definition of design and construction strategies the development of a number of prototypes presented in the current thesis. Those have the task of being demonstrators of research and to play the role of reference points for the next steps of research and concretion of theories tested in the field of construction and architecture. The new proposals require the use of the latest and most varied methods and tools for parametric computational design and digital and robotic manufacturing.
