January 2022 • Xuyou Yang, Ding Wen Bao, Xin Yan, Yucheng Zhao
With the rapid development of computers and technology in the 20th century, the topological optimisation (TO) method has spread worldwide in various fields.This novel structural optimisation approach has been applied in many disciplines, including architectural form-finding.Especially Bi-directional Evolutionary Structural Optimisation (BESO), which was proposed in the 1990s, is widely used by thousands of engineers and architects worldwide to design innovative and iconic buildings.To integrate topological optimis…
