Importance of physical modeling at a range of scales, each with specific purpose

translation from digital to physical (pre-assembly)

Erection sequences

Introduction of building tolerances

planning for failure / adjustments / mistakes

working with forces through material behaviour in real-time (usefulness of working with expressive materials)

Form finding for BA frames

Principal Stress Lines

Performance of undulating shells vs. smooth shells

If PSL is proposed to be better than quadrangle grids then needs to be proven (with plaster shells loaded?)
