FORM FINDING LAB

Our research focuses on the mechanics and design of slender large-span shells, membranes, and elastic rod networks under extreme loading and during construction. Our work concerns shape generation and analysis approaches for innovative lightweight structural systems that enable a resilient, and sustainable built environment. We focus on the advancement of theoretical and computational approaches to predict and design the overall properties, stability, and failure of these systems. If you think there might be a fit and you would like to work with me, please contact me to begin a conversation and include your CV and transcript many months in advance of application deadlines (sadriaen@princeton.edu)... We are delighted to deepen and enrich our understanding of Spain-based craft construction using natural locally available materials with this new funding. We look forward to working with Dr. Wesam Al Asali, School of Architecture, IE University... We are delighted to have been awarded PU..
