Within the domain of structural design, ‘material’, ‘force’, and ‘geometry’ are the main constituents, each contributing with their
own flied of science. Ruled by laws of physics, together these constitutes determine how a structure receives a load, and by which
structural mechanism the internal configuration of material transfers this load until it is discharged [Veltkamp, 2005]. Geometry
in free formed structures is present at many different levels of magnitude throughout the structure, varying from overall (free
form) geometry to geometry of the structural details. The two most defining components of geometry in a structure are the global
structural geometry and the structural topology within this structure. By defining both components parametrically, associated with
a free form shape, and driven by structural optimisation based on a artificial intelligence technique an optimised structure can be
designed. For the workshop, a tall builiding with diagrid structure will be designed and optimised.
