i-We Are SMiA. Structural Morphology in Architecture was created to share ideas and projects in common research areas. It has further developed as a way for us to further develop design strategies through educational workshops and exploration.

It is an open group for architects, designers, artists, students, teachers, and friends—for anyone who wants to know about unconventional architecture based on structural morphology.

i-Our Domain Form, geometry, transformable, folding, modular, structures, lightweight construction, space, and our common word, "architecture"

i-Why To think, investigate, re-invent, imagine, build, play with, and explore spatial-morphology concepts in design as well as creating new architectural concepts.

i-How

About SMiA

Through workshops, lectures, special guests, travel, and events of all kinds that provide opportunities to meet and strengthen multidisciplinary knowledge, which contributes to the group.

Physical and digital tools are utilized, including WinTess3, a parametric-geometry-development-and-testing software.

OBJECTIVES The workshop is an Introduction to the conceptual and practical world of lightweight structures with the end goal of having the students develop their own lightweight-structural model that solves a real-world problem. They will gain an understanding of the behaviors of these complex structures using both physical models and software.

Comprehensive training in the areas of tensile, deployable, tensegrity, tree-form, and reciprocal buildings and structures.
