It presents several\nmethods of creating PZ and TZ structures subjected to discrete optimization.\nThe algorithms presented employ graph-theoretic and heuristic methods. The\nunderlying idea of both systems is to create free-form structures using the\nminimal number of types of modular elements. PZ is more conceptual, as it forms\nsingle-branch mathematical knots with a single type of module. Conversely, TZ\nis a skeletal system for creating free-form pedestrian ramps and ramp networks\namong any number of terminals in space. In physical space, TZ uses two types of\nmodules that are mirror reflections of each other. The optimization criteria\ndiscussed include: the minimal number of units, maximal adherence to the given\nguide paths, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-08-02\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789811011085\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-981-10-1109-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 121\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47517708517516,"sku":"9789811011085","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789811011085.jpg?v=1775966190","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789811011085","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
