Polyhedral Structures Laboratory, University of Pennsylvania

PSL is at the intersection of architecture, structural and mechanical engineering, computer science, mathematics, and material science. It aims to bridge the gap between design and engineering by advancing structural geometry and reconciling function, form, technology, and energy. At PSL we are constantly looking into addressing pressing matters in the field of architecture engineering and construction. We particularly look into how we can minimize mass in large-scale structures and thus contribute to the reduction of embodied energy; design prefabricated systems for disassembly, develop future manufacturing methods by tuning material properties; and design and construct structures that can absorb carbon in their lifetimes.
