LSAA 2013 Conference and Design Awards
Theme “Touching the Earth Lightly”
Lightweight Structures have geometric forms that generally have large surfaces which are doubly curved. Many structures also use modern materials such as fabrics, foils and cables which can only carry loads by tensile forces – the most efficient load carrying action.
This conference will look at the most efficient use of materials & resources to have a marked effect on our planet, our lives and our future. We want to help get people thinking about building better, building for the environment and living lightly on the planet.
Lightweight structures can not only be light they can be relocatable, reusable, recyclable and offer many sustainable advantages for architects, engineers and developers. Presentations will explore these features.
