Yesterday our PhD Candidate Tim Michiels was awarded the Hangai prize for his “Outstanding paper by a young talented researcher under 30” at the annual symposium of the International Association of Shell and Spatial Structures (IASS) in Hamburg. Tim presented his research titled “Parametric study of masonry shells form found for seismic loading” during the plenary session on Tuesday. Tim’s award marks the 3rd consecutive prize for the Form Finding Lab at the yearly IASS conference, after Edward Segal et al.’s Tsuboi prize in Amsterdam (2015) and the stadium competition won by Olek Niewiarowski in Tokyo (2016) last year.
