ALGORITHMIC MODELLING OF FOLDED SURFACE

Folded Surfaces

Both in the field of design and architecture origami is often taken as a reference for its kinetic proprieties and its elegant appearance. Dynamic facades, fast deployment structures, temporary shelters, portable furniture, retractile roofs…

QuadEdgeDataStructure Grasshopper3d Plugin

Quad Edge

A ‚QuadEdgeDataStructure‘ is used to represent a n-gonal Mesh without making any difference between primal and dual elements. The (relativ) dual-graph is holded in a valid state during any topological operation.

Cycloid Grasshopper3d Example

Cycloid

This grasshopper example by Tuğrul Yazar is a Cycloid-like family of curves, generated by its classical description: a rolling circle. There’s no need to roll the circle but divide its path, utilizing data lists to simply rotate and evaluate it.
