KU Leuven - Scale Structures
KU Leuven developed a new technique for calculating scale structures within the construction industry.
Shell structures (or shell constructions) are a type of architectural structure characterized by the use of thin, curved plates or shells. They primarily work through tensile and compressive stresses within the plane of the shell.
Shell structures represent a synergy of architectural beauty and structural efficiency. Their unique forms offer both aesthetic and functional benefits. They are valued in various branches of engineering and architecture for their ability to achieve large spans without requiring heavy supporting structures.
Based on numerical optimization, KU Leuven has made several innovations and inventions applied across engineering, biomedical sciences, economics, and computer sciences. Numerical optimization is a powerful tool in the quest for finding the best solutions to complex problems.
2D-ANIMATION
2D animation, also known as traditional animation or hand-drawn animation, is a form of digital art that creates the suggestion of movement by using a sequence of images. This art form originated in the early 20th century and remains popular today. Unlike 3D animation, which is computer-generated, 2D animation is based on hand-drawn frames created by artists.
Within 2D animation, you have numerous styles. For instance, you can go for flat design, whiteboard animation, cut-out, isometric animation,...
