Abstract

This is part II (of the two-parts paper) dedicated to the development of a pre-rationalization approach that provides favorable constructive properties for the low-tech construction of doubly curved structures. In this second part, we utilize the geometric constructs developed in part I, specifically patches with one direction of their coordinate curves being planar (PU-property) and the other direction generating developable strips (V-strips), to address site constraints. More precisely, we articulate a design process based on these constructs that allows for the low-tech construction of a doubly curved bamboo structure without falsework.
