Hello everyone,
I’m studying the national museum of Qatar as a case study for my tectonics assignment in school, and I am trying to figure out the roof pattern in grasshopper.
I’m wondering if anyone knows how to make this pattern and apply it on a doubly curved surface. (I have also attached the basic disk surface)
Disk surface.gh (12.3 KB)
Create it manually and use polar array (5 items)
Hey @seghierkhaled
Thank you so much.
I’m still wondering if there is any way to do this in grasshopper.
For sure, I worked a bit on this sort of tesselations
maybe you can save some time by polar arraying the inner portion 5 times, and the external portion30 times, like this:
Gilbert Tessellations are quite cool yes and surely not enough used. They change a bit from Voronoi.
For your problem, yes they can be applied to a surface just remove in C#
Curve curve = Curve.ProjectToPlane(curve3d, Plane.WorldXY);
And surely others things. The “difficulties” will be to make the curve on surface.
Whatever, I prefer here using a pattern flat. It will be easy to project it.
The only trick og this tessellation is to generate cracks. What I saw on Jean Nouvel building is crack with 2 directions.
Here a random crack generator
And here one with symetries
