Around 2005 it became apparent in the geometry processing community that freeform
architecture contains many problems of a geometric nature to be solved, and many …

We present a computational approach for designing wire meshes, ie, freeform surfaces
composed of woven wires arranged in a regular grid. To facilitate shape exploration, we …

Freeform shapes and structures with a high geometric complexity play an increasingly
important role in contemporary architecture. While digital models are easily created, the …

Abstract Concepts of swarm intelligence are becoming increasingly relevant in the field of
architectural design. An example is the use of agent-based modeling and simulation …

This paper presents an integrated design tool for structures composed of engineered timber
panels that are connected by traditional wood joints. Recent advances in computational …

Goldberg polyhedra have been widely studied across multiple fields, as their distinctive
pattern can lead to many useful applications. Their topology can be determined using …

In architectural design, surface shapes are commonly subject to geometric constraints
imposed by material, fabrication or assembly. Rationalization algorithms can convert a …

Mesh surfaces with planar hexagonal faces, what we refer to as PH meshes, offer an elegant
way of paneling freeform architectural surfaces due to their node simplicity (ie, valence-3 …

This paper is an overview of architectural structures which are either composed of
polyhedral cells or closely related to them. We introduce the concept of a support structure of …

Several theoretical and practical geometry applications are based on polygon meshes with
planar faces. The planar panelization of freeform surfaces is a prominent example from the …
