In an age where we have been going from hyperrealistic renders to digital models to the realm of the metaverse, physical architectural models have almost become a thing of the past. Nonetheless, ...

The problem with building information modeling (BIM) has always been a lack of reality. On the computer screen, even a just-hatched BIM model can look plenty real, thanks to productivity-enhancing ...

Abstract: Elastomers and polymers such as silicone and Kapton have a wide range of applications across engineering disciplines, including structural components and thermal shields in space structures.

A team of researchers created Morpho, an open-source programmable environment that enables researchers and engineers to conduct shape optimization and design for soft materials. Applications can be ...
