Rationalization in structural design in the field of steel structures mostly consists inreducing structural material. The aim of this work was to develop an algorithmic-aided, original and practical approach to shaping curvilinear steel bar structures of modular roofs, enabling their optimization. The first stage of shaping consists in creating algorithms that define the structures of shelters made of four roof units. Algorithmic definitions of the structures made it possible to obtain many variants of the roof structures with the adopted preliminary criteria. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the individual variants, the genetic optimizations of the structures’ forms were carried out. Assuming that the structures were loaded with self-weights, the cross-sections of the structures’ members were optimized with the permissible deflections, while the structures’ weights were the optimization criteria. This allowed us to eliminate the design variants unfavorable in terms of shape and weight. In contrast, the structures with the most advantageous properties were then optimized for weight under snow and wind loads. The research allowed us to notice how the shapes of the structures influenced their efficiency. The dual approach proposed for shaping, which takes advantage of the generative design and consistent flow of information during shaping, allowed us to achieve better solutions compared to the traditional approach.
