We explore several relevant issues concerned with some typical two-dimensional optimal design problems by using a purely variational format. Specifically, we investigate situations of existence of optimal solutions and relaxation in terms of quasiconvexifications and Young measures.

Keywords: Variational framework, existence-nonexistence of optimal solutions, relaxation, Young measures.

MSC 1991: 49J15, 49J45, 74P10.
