Line Geometry for Lightweight Structures
Sommer School 2018
Summerschool LGLS Line Geometry for Lightweight Structures The international summer school “Line Geometry for Lightweight Structures” took place from 10th to 28th September in 2018 at the Technical University Dresden and was conducted by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Daniel Lordick. It was part of the research project “Thin-walled Concrete Structures with Line Geometry” in the DFG program SPP 1542 “Lightweight Construction with Concrete”. During this project the teams of Prof. Mike Schlaich (TU Berlin) and Prof. Daniel Lordick (TU Dresden) developed tools and methods for the form-finding and dimensioning of components from ruled surfaces. The goal was to combine a mathematical approach with the requirements of engineering. The core program of LGLS focused on design projects, which were developed in small cross-disciplinary working groups during the three weeks of the summer school. The support program took place at different research institutes as well as some famous cultural institutions of Dresden. The main objective of LGLS were to design lightweight structures using ruled surfaces. Ruled surfaces play a major role in architecture and civil engineering like in the works of Vladimir Shukhov, Antoni Gaudí, Felix Candela, Santiago Calatrava and many others. LGLS is both a summer school to enhance your knowledge and abilities and a design space exploration of ruled surfaces, especially in lightweight construction applications. To illustrate the versatility of the summer school, we have developed a booklet that briefly introduces all participants, as well as the speakers and other supporters. We were able to learn from the experiences of many different disciplines. We are glad that we were able to gather so many different personalities to work on a common project and to present Dresden as a cosmopolitan and modern research location.
