Abstract

Grid paterns represent a modern structural system designed for wide coverage and, owing to their geometry, effectively withstand forces. The primary advantage of utilizing a continuous shell lies in its ability to facilitate force flow in all directions. Hence, this study will evaluate the principle stress lines to identify optimal grid pattern topology. This analysis will be conducted for comparison with geometric patterns, providing insights into structurally efficient solutions. Moreover, the study assumes steel as the primary material for grid shells, considering its widespread usage in construction. By investigating arrangements of grid shells and expanding beyond regular geometric shapes to embrace freeform architectures, the research aims to contribute to the advancement of innovative structural solutions. The effectiveness of a grid shell depends on how forces are transferred to the beams and ultimately to the ground. Therefore, the shape and orientation of the grid play a crucial role in determining structural efficiency. This study seeks to identify and optimize such configurations for practical implementation in real-world architectural projects
