Aplicación de algoritmos paramétricos en el diseño estructural. La ópera de Sídney desde una perspectiva contemporánea

Abstract

The Sydney Opera House can be considered a paradigm for the influence methods of drawing and structural analysis have on architectural design and construction. This paper presents various structural scheme designs for the roof of the Sydney Opera House based on the original geometry proposed by Utzon. This geometry was modified in the design process in order to make its construction viable, demonstrating the impact that the scientific and technological progress of the second half of the 20th century have had in the design and construction of buildings.
