Acerca del autor

Alamir Mohsen received his bachelor degree in Architecture in 2007. From 2007 to 2012, he worked as a technical architect and designer at various international companies in Cairo, Egypt, where he planned and designed several projects in the Middle East. From 2012 to 2014, he completed his master's degree in Façade Engineering at the University of Applied Sciences in Detmold, Germany. From 2014 to 2018, he worked as a façade engineer at Bollinger und Grohman Ingenieure in Frankfurt, Germany. From 2014 to 2019, he was a research assistant and lecturer at the Technical University Darmstadt. In 2018, he found his startup Lithium Architects GmbH in Frankfurt, and since then has served as company’s CEO. 

De la contraportada

This book discusses a new method for the design and engineering of complex façades. Based on the file-to-factory concept, the method combines parametric design approaches and additive manufacturing. 

Parametric design and additive manufacturing are both growing trends that open up new possibilities. Parametric design approaches change how planners / designers perceive building details. Further, new engineering concepts are needed to cope with the increasing complexity of architectural geometries due to the rapid developments in areas such as façade systems, modeling software and digital manufacturing techniques.
