Known for superior strength, metals allow us to build higher and span greater distances. However, they can also be soft, forgiving, and ethereal. In Post-Ductility, an interdisciplinary group of architects, historians, theorists, and engineers collectively explores the past, present, and future possibilities of this essential building material.
If metals are a significant origin for architecture and indeed whole cities—from buildings to automobiles and labor, then what are the limits or equations that offer a new evaluation of both...
The wide range Post ductility refers to the literal aspects of material behavior— in this case of of computation, design and delivery means rapidly gaining use in practice (BIM, metals— but also to aspects of architectural and urban space that are measured by IPD, etc.) are linking localized small-scale practices across globalized sites: materi...
Post-ductility : metals in architecture and engineering. Michael Bell, C. Buckley. Published 2012. Engineering, Materials Science. Metals, as surface or structure- as the generators of space, play a role in nearly every strain of modernisation in architecture. They define complete geographies of work, production, and political life.
Summary: Filmed in September/October 2009 at the third Columbia Conference on architecture, engineering and materials. Few concepts are as central in structural engineering as the ability of a material to sustain plastic deformation under tensile stress.
27 de jun. de 2012 · Post-Ductility refers to the literal aspects of material behavior in this case of metals but also of aspects of architectural and urban space that are measured by less verifiable but nonetheless real quotients of stress and strain. It is the tension and compression of space that gives form or coherence to form.
