One can identify two different ways of designing gridshells: those with a given outline and those with a given shape. The first approach considers the final shape a consequence of a form-finding process, driven by the supports of a grid which is thought to be an input data. The second approach consists of deriving a grid from a given shape. When erected on its supports, the grid should give back the intended morphology.
