Carved Monge Surfaces as New Forms in the Architecture

Abstract

On the example of today’s existing buildings and cities the tendency of using thin construction in modern world can be clearly noticed. To create new ideas and images engineers have to study new geometrical forms and its calculation methods. The article deals with carved Monge surface. The possibilities of its usage in the architecture, its geometry and form making are well examined in the article, and are the basic problems considered in the article. As well as the basic calculations of Monge surface were made in this article using moment less theory and finite element method, and we can clearly see the advantages of using this shell. The main aim of this article is to show the relevance of carved Monge surface.
