Geometry, Form and Structure Relationship in Blob, Liquid and Formless Architecture

ABSTRACT: Structure is a historical and complicated issue of architecture but today the progress in technology has helped architects to overcome the limitations and to reach their goals in design. Apart from structure the form is another matter that architects need to consider because it influences both the interior and exterior of any building. This study therefore, intends to analyze the form and structure in 3 dimensional of blob, liquid and formless architecture. This thesis aimed at integrating different types of constructions and techniques in order to analyze how it is possible to achieve formlessness by considering the issue of structure, in dome, shell, grid shell, pneumatic and membrane structures. In other words, the three dimensional and irregular blob, liquid and formless architecture has been discussed, in order to find out the structure and form organization and the relationship between them. It is shown that structures of three dimensional Blob, Liquid and Formless architecture all have wide span enclosure with small thickness. Also, the results of this research present a method that makes use of simple and complicated geometries and hyperbolic paraboloid.
