Abstract
Review on structure behaviour and visual appearance of a building is needed in generating creativity in the making of an architectural design. The use of any specific structure software will facilitate this in the process. This research aims to prove the effectiveness with which designers can compose alternative forms of architectural appearance through the use of the software. One of the tools in the creative process used in the exploration of 2-dimensional frame structures is DR FRAME. The observations were carried in the Structure and Construction IV Studio at Itenas Architecture Study Program Bandung through a digital simulation using DR. FRAME software demo version. Several students are invited to explore various forms of wide-span truss structures at the level of unified integration. The results through the program execution show various diagrams which can be implemented in the design of the form and the type of structural components. DR.FRAME software enriches ideas in the wide-span structure design which provides an understanding of the relationship between structural behaviour and the appearance of architectural design. The use of other supporting software is supposed to be applied as an alternative search for various structural design ideas for architecture students
Highlights
Professional architect's approach in considering the structure in the design process varies from the approach structure as an aesthetic to structure that acts as a supporter of a form
The architect was hesitant to intervene since they were having problems comprehending the logic of the wide-span structure and qualitatively examining the stability/stiffness of the structural design they created
The role of digital simulation can be helpful in making various alternative structural designs replace the usual models
Summary
Professional architect's approach in considering the structure in the design process varies from the approach structure as an aesthetic to structure that acts as a supporter of a form. A building's form adjustment done Shirley Wahadamaputera, Bambang Subekti, Dian Duhita Permata using building wrapping elements that differ from the structure's core design will result in extremely expensive construction costs. Designers are generally hesitant to intervene in the processing of structural forms, whereas engineers avoid complex calculations due to particular structural forms. The architect was hesitant to intervene since they were having problems comprehending the logic of the wide-span structure and qualitatively examining the stability/stiffness of the structural design they created. The role of digital simulation can be helpful in making various alternative structural designs replace the usual models. The closest studio to observe the process of a designer doing architectural shape exploration is in an academic studio which applied Project Based Learning method
