Abstract
Complex freeform structures are one of the most striking trends in contemporary architecture. This direction has been pioneered by architects such as F. Gehry, who exploit digital technology originally developed for the automotive and airplane industry for architectural design and construction. This is not a simple task at all, since the architectural application differs from the original target industries in many ways, including aesthetics, statics, scale and manufacturing technologies.
