The graphic interface of the
Cad-Tool morphology system 3.0

Context of websites providing building information
Development of the Free-D website
The CAD-tool morphology system and
the data-base on curved façade materialising
Pinbed Wizard - a sustainable mould
Near future developments
![Page 3: Ctbuh 2011 presentation_vollers - morphology 10def](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081404/559a93081a28abea6e8b4582/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Context of websites providing building information
many such websites exist
the major ones rapidly expand their data-bases
many sites focus on language-based regions
![Page 4: Ctbuh 2011 presentation_vollers - morphology 10def](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081404/559a93081a28abea6e8b4582/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
companies only supply info on own products/projects
websites usually either focus (high-rise, steel)
or are generic (interiors / architecture / art)
![Page 5: Ctbuh 2011 presentation_vollers - morphology 10def](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081404/559a93081a28abea6e8b4582/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
publishers, educational institutions and designer’s
branche organisations, all focus wide
![Page 6: Ctbuh 2011 presentation_vollers - morphology 10def](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081404/559a93081a28abea6e8b4582/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
a commercial site can be user-maintained –
when generic and not promoting 1 firm / brand name
website owners vary: from individuals to publishers
![Page 7: Ctbuh 2011 presentation_vollers - morphology 10def](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081404/559a93081a28abea6e8b4582/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Problems:
Tracing buildings by their shape, now is impossible.
Info is scattered over many media:
books, journals, websites, films (YouTube), etc.
Books are costly – each covers only a few projects.
Designers and students think in pictures and want
easy access to info on projects / materialising.
![Page 8: Ctbuh 2011 presentation_vollers - morphology 10def](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081404/559a93081a28abea6e8b4582/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
So we designed the Free-D.nl website:
a digital platform that informs on curved buildings
1 Create a data-base on buildings, schematising by
the CAD-tool morphology system.
Designed to be user-maintained.
2 Create a data-base on curved façade materialising.
3 Abstract the details, and organise them by
applied construction principles.

Near future developments
Educational and industrial institutions must combine
to supervise a user maintained website facilitating
students, designers and engineers.
Websites will merge; a few major ones survive.
The owners….?
Digital models and (detail) drawings get standardized
and easier to copy.
Copyright will be hard to protect.
