Active Bending, a Review on Structures where Bending is Used as a Self-Formation Process

摘要: In this paper structures that actively use bending as a self-forming process are reviewed. By bringing together important material developments and various historical well recently built samples of such structures, the aim is to show coherences in their design approach, structural systems behaviour. Different approaches bending-active defined described. making work accessible categorising it, aims contribute an emerging development.A differentiation suggested based on approaches. Three differentiated: behaviour geometry approach current research seeks integrate two. nature these some project discussed.
