Italian Workshop on 

Shell and Spatial Structures

Form Finding: Designing with Nature's Principles - Let's Shape !

Villa Monastero, Varenna - Lake Como - July 2 3 - 2 6,  2 0 2 4

The summer school offers a comprehensive exploration into the innovative realm of structural design, focusing on form-finding techniques and the application of shells, vaults and prestressed structures. Participants will gain proficiency in building the designed shapes supported by computational tools and parametric design software. Students will possess a deep understanding of the principles governing form finding and preliminary structural design, enabling them to tackle complex architectural challenges with creativity and confidence.

The GIMC SIMAI Young 2024 aims to provide young scientists (aged ≤ 35) with a platform to exchange their most recent results, stay current on new trends, and foster meaningful interactions within the framework of computational mechanics and applied and industrial mathematics. The program will include plenary lectures, a dedicated session for recipients of the GIMC-SIMAI young awards, parallel thematic sessions and poster showcase.

The event is the result of the joint venture of GIMC (Gruppo Italiano di Meccanica Computazionale) and SIMAI (Società Italiana di Matematica Applicata e Industriale) and it is set to take place in Naples on July 10-12, 2024.
