This paper describes a method for the design and fabrication of complex funicular
structures from discrete precast concrete elements. It has a critical look over
conventional casting methods and proposes a parametric casting mold to produce
concrete blocks with custom shapes.
The research proposes that through the integration of digital form-finding techniques,
computational file-to-fabrication workflows, and innovative sustainable
casting techniques, complex funicular structures can be constructed using prefabricated
elements in a practical, affordable, and materially efficient manner. / text
