A decision has been made to hold the IASS/APCS 2022 Symposium in hybrid online and in-person format. All delegates from outside China should pay the online registration fee, and then pay the remaining fee if and when they have met the requirements and can enter in accordance with China's epidemic prevention regulations.
The earlybird registration deadline is 30 June 2022. See the symposium website http://www.iass2022.org.cn/ for full information about registration and the fee structure, including reduced fees for IASS members.
At the 2021 Annual Symposium, the Tsuboi Award for the best paper in the Journal of the IASS in 2020 was conferred to:
Ch. Robeller and N. von Haaren (Germany): "Recycleshell: Wood-only Shell Structures Made From Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) Production Waste," J. IASS, Vol. 61 (2020) No. 2, n. 204 June, pp. 125-138.
There was only one award for 2020, because the Symposium award was not conferred since the 2020 symposium was postponed until 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Hangai Prize Committee announced the winners of the 19th Hangai Prize, and their papers were presented at the 2021 Annual Symposium:
Ting-Uei Lee (Australia): "From ruled surfaces to elastica-ruled surfaces: New possibilities for creating architectural forms" Kotaro Sempuku (Japan): "Self-folding rigid origami based on auxetic kirigami" Xiuming Liu (China): "Study on thermal damage of large-span ice shell structure based on thermal-mechanical coupling" Qian Zhang (China): "Programmable and reconfigurable surfaces with kirigami-inspired bistable elements"
Ting-Uei Lee (Australia): "From ruled surfaces to elastica-ruled surfaces: New possibilities for creating architectural forms"
The papers will be included in the December 2021 issue of the Journal of the IASS.
