Abstract
In the present paper the relationship between structural and geometric form-finding in reciprocal structures is investigated, by assessing whether the purely geometric form finding is also capable of delivering structurally optimal structures. The work will use as a case study the reciprocal structure designed by the author D. Parigi for the submission to the international design competition “Sky Forest City” awarded 3rd prize in December 2016 in Chongqing.
