Shell Structures for Architecture: Form Finding and Optimization

'Computational form-finding has been pretty influential on my work over the past few years, and Philippe Block is one of the recognized leaders in the field. His new book really takes a deep look into the capabilities and potentials for these techniques, going into great detail about how, why, and when certain approaches should be considered. [..] this book gives an extensive look into some of the cutting edge work going on in the field.'

Wes McGee, Assistant Professor of Architecture, University of Michigan - SectionCut.com

'As the role of computational tools in structural design continues to grow, the form-finding techniques detailed here are more relevant than ever. Bringing together experts in the field, I expect Shell Structures for Architecture will be a valuable inspiration and reference for architecture and engineering students and professionals seeking a deeper understanding, which is essential to make full use of such tools and techniques.'

Daniel Piker, Robert McNeel & Associates

'This book should be in the library of designers of shells and grid shells.'

Bill Baker, Partner at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP

'In their integration of technical and creative disciplines, shell structures are a fascinating typology – this is a valuable source book for architects and engineers alike.'

Xavier De Kestelier, Partner, Foster + Partners

'Shell Structures for Architecture expands architectural possibilities; a great influence on the thinking of contemporary architects.'
