International Association for Shell and Spatial Structures (IASS)

The International Association for Shell and Spatial Structures (IASS) is a global organization that brings together engineers, architects, and researchers focused on designing and building innovative, efficient, and aesthetically striking structures. These structures often include thin, curved surfaces like shells and complex spatial forms used in buildings, stadiums, and bridges. IASS promotes research, knowledge sharing, and collaboration to advance structural design, construction techniques, and material use, fostering innovation and sustainability in the field of large-scale, lightweight, and strong structures.
