Thanks to the latest developments in digital architectural technologies, free-form designs that maximize the creativity of architects have rapidly increased. However, there are a lot of difficulties in forming various free-form curved surfaces. In panelizing to produce free forms, the methods of mesh, developable surface, tessellation and subdivision are applied. The process of applying such panelizing methods when producing free-form panels is complex, time-consuming and requires a vast amount of manpower when extracting production data. Therefore, algorithms are needed to quickly and systematically extract production data that are needed for panel production after a free-form building is designed. In this respect, the purpose of this study is to propose mathematical algorithms for the automatic generation of production data of free-form panels in consideration of the building model, performance of production equipment and pattern information. To accomplish this, mathematical algorithms were suggested upon panelizing, and production data for a CNC machine were extracted by mapping as free-form curved surfaces. The study's findings may contribute to improved productivity and reduced cost by realizing the automatic generation of data for production of free-form concrete panels.

Since the third industrial revolution has been started in the 1980s, the form of buildings has been varied and atypical by the development of building technology. Such free-form building has a curved shape unlike the existing standard buildings, and to realize this, it is necessary to manufacture the free-from panel. The shape of the free-form panel must satisfy a limited error ratio compared with the design shape, and the technology to produce free-form panels is very difficult. However, there are many problems such as enormous cost and construction waste generation when implementing free-from construction. Therefore, the development of free-form panel manufacturing technology should be made to solve the problems caused by the free-form construction. In this study, the error rate analysis of the mixed mortar panel was conducted by selecting the proper mixing ratio of the mixed mortar for the shape of the free-form panel.

Although the development of free-form architectural technology continues, it consumes a lot of money and time due to the one-time formwork and the difficulty of maintaining quality due to manual work. To this end, in this study, a shape connection technique was proposed and verified to improve the limitations of implementing the curved surface of the existing lower multi-point press. In order to improve the accuracy of the shape, a curved surface was implemented using a silicon cap and a silicon plate. As a result of the error analysis of the shape, a small value of less than 3 mm was found. This study can implement more accurate curved surfaces than conventional technologies and produce high-quality free-form panels.

Numerous of free-form buildings come up with external appearances using various types of free-form panels. If the panel types produced, transport and installation order and maintenance history are not properly managed, it is difficult to complete a given project successfully. For free-form building projects that satisfy 5 factors (proper time, place, price, product and quantity), a supply chain management technique is applied for distribution management of free-form concrete panels. In addition, the study listed the whole production process of free-form concrete panels and any necessary information, and suggested a basic model for the management. The study result will be a great help in effective distribution management of free-form panels for free-form building projects.

Currently, free-form building has been increased worldwide. However, as a finishing material of free-form building, the production of free-form concrete panels(FCPs) spends lots of cost and efforts since it is difficult to reuse the FCP formwork and lots of workers are needed to make free-form curve. In addition, the technology to produce the FCP economically and easily is insufficient. Therefore, the objective of this study is a basic study regarding production management for developing free-form concrete panels. To achieve the objective, the property of FCP and condition for effective production management and production process are analyzed. The results of this study can utilize to develop the algorithm for FCP production management.

Glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) is very suitable as a material for free-form concrete panels (FCPs) because of its lightweight, strong, moldable, durable and sustainable properties. GFRC is superior in construction and maintenance compared with materials such as steel, aluminium, titanium, glass and plastic, and is advantageous in cost. However, GFRC is being produced by skilled craftsmen, and still lacks the technology to economically produce high quality FCPs. Currently, there is a technology to automatically and accurately produce FCPs. However, the developed technology can not be applied to the field with simple production technology without production line for mass production. To solve this problem, the purpose of this study is a basic study of production system development of free-form concrete panels. This study introduces the developed FCPs production technology and builds FCP production system for mass production. The results of this study will be used as basic data for the commercial production of FCPs in the future.

Although there is an increase in demand for free-form buildings, there are several problems such as increased cost and duration and decreased constructability arising from difficult member production and installation. To solve these problems, a technology to produce free-form panels using CNC machine was developed. According to the technology, the information on free-form buildings designed is delivered to the CNC machine, a form is shaped using the delivered information and free-form concrete panels are produced using the form. The limited construction site, duration and project cost as well as interferences with other work types should be considered upon in-situ production of free-form concrete panels. Thus, the purpose of this study is to conduct a base study on in-situ production layout of free-form concrete panels by system dynamics. With this study, we will discover the causal relationship of influence factors on in-situ production of free-form concrete panels, and improved productivity is expected through the production layout.

Free-form buildings serve as landmarks, and interest and demand are increasing. However, in the case of free-form concrete members, different curved surfaces are required depending on the location where they are used, and the formwork is custom-made and used. Concrete is poured into the manufactured formwork to produce FCP (Free-form Concrete Panel). However, since it is an atypical building that requires precise curvature, compaction cannot be performed after concrete is poured. This leads to the occurrence of bughole, which reduce the strength and aesthetics of concrete. Therefore, in this study, we intend to conduct basic experiments to develop a magnetic compaction device that can be used for FCP. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that the bug hole was improved when the magnetic compaction device was applied, and there was no significant difference in compressive strength and flexural strength. This technology can be used in the field of Free-form concrete where it is difficult to perform compaction work, and it is expected to be used as a basic research related to technology for new automatic compaction.

In the case of the Busan North Port, where the Busan Opera House is located, it is an environment exposed to various external deterioration factors such as frequent strong winds, seawater and salty winds, and an exterior material using UHPC (Ultra High Performance Concrete), a highly durable exterior material as a solution to this. Has been adopted. in this study, an economical production and construction direction was reviewed by applying UHPC to the exterior panels of atypical buildings that cannot cope with GFRC, metal, and glass, which are the main exterior finishing materials applied so far. When steel fibers are used, structural performance may be better than organic fibers, but due to environmental factors in Busan, corrosion due to exposure to steel fibers or problems with safety management after construction and completion may occur. Therefore, the site used the newly developed SACF fiber. Facade design of atypical buildings, which will increase in the future, is an important part, and the scope of use of UHPC panels is expected to increase in the future as design trends and demand for high durability increase.
