Compression-only structures can be modelled as pin-jointed networks with all the members in com- pression. The final shape of the network can be computed using the Force Density Method (FDM) together with Topological Mapping (TM), introducing the self-weight iteratively until the equilibrium is found. One of the input parameters of FDM is the force-length ratio q of each member of the network. Members with a high q carry a higher level of loads, working as ribs of the structure. The designer defines the proper distribution of the ribs in the network, resulting in aesthetical final shapes. Here, a two-storey compression structure with inner ribs has been designed using TM-FDM.
