The document discusses the development of the Free-D website, which aims to create a database of curved buildings using a CAD-tool morphology system. It describes the graphical interface of the system that allows users to search projects categorized by shape and material. It also introduces the Pinbed Wizard technology, which uses adjustable pins to efficiently mold optimized non-orthogonal building panels.

The graphic interface of the Cad-Tool morphology system 3.0for non-orthogonal buildings.Dr. Karel Vollers,S. Thorat, MSc AEThe Netherlands
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 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 companies only supply info on own products/projects
websites usually either focus (high-rise, steel) or are generic (interiors / architecture / art)
publishers, educational institutions and designer’sbrancheorganisations, all focus wide
a commercial site can be user-maintained – when generic and not promoting 1 firm / brand namewebsite owners vary: from individuals to publishers 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.
So we designed the Free-D.nl website: a digital platform that informs on curved buildings Create a data-base on buildings, schematising by the CAD-tool morphology system. Designed to be user-maintained. Create a data-base on curved façade materialising. Abstract the details, and organise them by applied construction principles.
