Tesselion: Adaptive Quadrilateral Flat Panelization.
A new era of digital technology has emerged to enable freedom of design expression. Increasing complexity in surface curvature through rapidly developing digital techniques has enhanced an age old design problem of constructability of non-standard surface geometries. Along with the software for creating this complexity, intelligent capabilities [...]

Flat Panel Undulation

April 29, 2008 in Component, Installation, flat panel tessellation

A wall system based on quadrilateral flat panels.  Each panel contains four sidewalls which bolt together to create a non-standard module.  Each module is stacked to assemble a doubly curved surface. 

Tesselion Construction

Planar Tessellation Update : Tesselion Project

January 11, 2008 in Component, Fenestration, Installation, flat panel tessellation, material adaptation

 
Two distinct directions:
Method 1. Intersections
-Creates a planar tile from the intersections of either four or eight adjacent non-planar surfaces
*By using 8 sided tiles small gaps can be eliminated as it approaches 0 Gaussian curvature, however quickly becomes dirty with intersections etc..
Pro: Very clean connection as all panels share an entire edge with its neighbor
Con: Does [...]

Gaussian Curvature Analysis & Tessellation

November 25, 2007 in Fenestration, Installation, Rationalized Geometry, Surface Manipulation, flat panel tessellation

 
The Gaussian curvature, named after Carl Friedrich Gauss, is equal to the product of the principal curvatures, k1k2. It has the dimension of 1/length2 and is positive for spheres, negative for one-sheet hyperboloids and zero for planes. It determines whether a surface is locally convex (when it is positive) or locally saddle (when it is [...]

Program Iterations

November 23, 2007 in Fenestration, Installation, Rationalized Geometry, Surface Manipulation, flat panel tessellation

Iterations of program studies where a random point is plotted within a 60′x60′ box identified as the focus or presentor.  Two vectors are drawn to this point from pointA(random1,random2,0) & pointsB(random2,random1,0) which demonstrate the circulation directions.  Resultant circles with a 6′ diameter, (representing the human spatial requirement), are cast within the volume as to never [...]
