In this webinar, Felice Allievi and Pablo Tarín allow insights into their work at Degree of Freedom. Besides presenting a range of timber, steel and concrete reference projects, you will hear about user-defined routines and applications to make SOFiSTiK even more powerful.
Parametric definition and structural analysis of Ulstein Kirke, Norway, by Snøhetta
Emphasising the typical open space of a church, integrating the structure in the natural terrain of the location and timber as the primary building material are the key aspects of the Kirke Church project.
With the key aspects in mind, it was on Degree of Freedom finding the best strategy to take the Architects vision to reality. Felice will take you through the faced challenges, particularly the static concept of the multi-purpose circular timber frame structure.
Pablo will dive into connecting SOFiSTiK with user-defined applications such as excel, Matlab and Python to perform more advanced post-processing - to extract and visualise required results to complete the design. Based on cross-laminated timber, masonry and steel/concrete structures, different design aspects will be discussed.
