aestheticderived from the collaboration and integration of the process of structural design andarchitectural design associated with such design proposals [2]. The collaboration betweenNorman Foster and ARUP Engineering [10] (Fig.7) serves as a pre-eminent example, and hasyielded several significant built works that have re-defined the role of technology in design andthe discourse between the formal and the constructible.The use of NURBS-based modelers in architectural design provides the potential for students toexplore design options that were to a large extent inconceivable in the context of conventionaldesign processes using conventional vector-based computer aided design and drafting tools.Therefore, design projects with an emphasis on structure in an
