Structures with optimized force distributions reduce the material expenditure for the fulfilment of structure and thus conserve our resources. Form Finding Structures, which transfer the acting forces primarily via tension and compression, can make a relevant contribution to this and lead to architecturally attractive buildings. The webinar shows the potential of this approach to structural development.

In this webinar, new methods and approaches are presented on how material and resources and thus CO2 can be saved already in the planning phase.
