Architectural Engineering

Thin-shell concrete construction formwork in the modern era is complicated and expensive. With the use of a sophisticated soil formwork construction method, this process can be simple and cost-effective. This senior project explores a new construction method as well as the performance of a finished shell structure.

Architectural Engineering

This project is an interdisciplinary architectural design of a funicular Japanese onsen utilizing the compressive strength of thin-shell concrete. A section of this project was also built to scale on the Cal Poly campus in the Architectural Engineering department's High Bay facility. This project was designed utilizing Rhinoceros and analyzed using SAP 2000 19.
