Hauer surface (Minimal Surfaces)

Currently working to create a Huer surface topology. Grasshopper does not seem to be the problem, as basic minimal surfaces work fine. The way of constructing meshes in rhino might be it. Once I have a modular component I also want to manipulate it to create a positive and negative inversion.

The definition posted here might help

It’s a different tile by Erwin Hauer, but the same approach should work for this one, just with a different twisting unit.

Thanks Daniel the definition definitely helps, I’m more interested in creating just base unit that works well rather than repeating the crossings to then project onto a surface. I somewhat understand the definition, but I’m unsure what is making the original module/unit smooth.


Something that acts as bridge or looping affect.
