This project addresses the structural engineering of buildings by constructing engineering concepts through topology optimization. Structural topology relates to geometric configurations of components that fit in to the structural system of the building. The goal is to tailor topology optimization techniques to building systems and to use this technology as a means to connect architects and engineers in design of buildings. To achieve this goal, the challenges are to move away from traditional ?box-like? building shapes by exploring innovative bio-inspired and natural artistic designs as well as to enable a formal linkage between structural engineering and architecture. The proposed techniques for tailored building design will be a novel addition to the realm of topology optimization. This research will explore natural load path topology optimization of tall buildings; will provide integration of structural engineering and architecture design optimization through the final design of buildings; will achieve new advances in lateral bracing systems; and will develop high-fidelity computational models. The computational framework will be formulated to provide both architects and engineers freedom to design innovative buildings that are artistic and yet with pragmatic consideration of economy. The Co-PI, a principal in a consulting engineering company, has background in design of super-tall buildings. The students working in the project will intern in the consulting company and the inter-disciplinary research team will work in close collaboration in all stages of the project.

该项目通过拓扑优化来构建工程概念来解决建筑物的结构工程。结构拓扑与适合建筑物结构系统的组件的几何配置有关。目的是为建筑系统量身定制拓扑优化技术，并使用该技术作为建筑师和工程师在建筑物设计中的一种手段。为了实现这一目标，挑战是要摆脱传统的？通过探索创新的生物启发和自然艺术设计，并在结构工程和建筑之间建立正式的联系，来建筑形状。量身定制的建筑设计的提议的技术将是拓扑优化领域的新颖补充。这项研究将探索高大建筑的自然负载路径拓扑优化；将通过建筑物的最终设计来整合结构工程和建筑设计优化；将在横向支撑系统中取得新的进步；并将开发高保真计算模型。计算框架将被制定，以为建筑师和工程师提供设计艺术且务实考虑经济的创新建筑的自由。 Co-Pi是一家咨询工程公司的校长，具有超级高架建筑物设计的背景。该项目工作的学生将在咨询公司实习，跨学科研究团队将在项目的各个阶段进行密切合作。
