We present a new technique to render in real time objects which have part of their high frequency geometric detail encoded in bump maps. It is based on the quantization of normal-maps, and achieves e....

We propose a method for designing 3D architectural free-form surfaces, represented as grid shells with beams sourced from inventories of reclaimed elements from dismantled buildings. In inventory-cons...

In the context of tall building design, the tube concept represents one of the most performing systems. The diagrid is the widespread type of tube system and consists of a diagonal grid of beams that ...
