Systems based on reciprocity of structural components allows to combine them into various configurations, with the use of the same principle of combining. The paper concerns applications of reciprocal structures in twisted multistory buildings and modular shell roofs. The essence of first application focuses in support of floor slabs on systems of reciprocal beams, rotated in the whole to one another, due to various rotations of individual beams relative to vertical columns. The second application refers to shell roofs, constructed with the use of structural components of two types: beams and arches. The paper presents rules of shaping architectural forms belonging to both mentioned categories, as well as computer programs developed in the Grasshopper language, which gives architects the useful tool for flexible design and for finding the relations between dimensions of particular components and architectural form of the whole object.
