Abstract
The capacity of ruled surface structures for merging load-bearing and stabilizing functionalities with architectural qualities becomes evident in numerous built examples. Depending on the construction method and the material used, they can consist of discrete, similar, and sometimes even identical elements. This could contribute to the reusability of their basic elements. As modular entities or units, ruled surface structures could become an alternative to conventional prefabricated building components. This paper identifies and discusses design criteria that influence the reusability of ruled surface structures and their constituent elements. Moreover, it suggests new application scenarios for reusable and modular ruled surface components.
