Is mostly concerned with the morpholog ical nature of our 3-D space and the structures inhabiting it.
The space in this context is regarded as a prime (confining) resource and sphere of the human habitat.
Its study and research aims at developing insights and comprehension of the way it can be manipulated and articulated
through architectural and structural design.
It deals with geometric-topological spatial patterns and shapes and their ordering principles and periodicity characteristics; mostly of periodic surfaces-partitions, space lattices and polyhedral envelopes
and their structural (energetical) performance as physical structures.
The term ‘Structural Morphology’ was coined by the author in the early seventies ( of last century) as the name of the teaching subject course at the Technion, I.1.T – Israel, and was adopted by the international community, since.
Today the SMG (Structural Morphology Group) is a chapter of the IASS (International Association of Space Structures).
