Ruled Surfaces for Rationalization and Design in Architecture (2010)
article⁄Ruled Surfaces for Rationalization and Design in Architecture (2010)
abstract⁄In this work, we address the challenges in the realization of freeform architecture and complex shapes in general with the technical advantages of ruled surfaces. We propose a geometry processing framework to approximate rationalize a given shape by one or multiple strips of ruled surfaces. We discuss techniques to achieve an overall smooth surface and develop a parametric model for the generation of curvature continuous surfaces composed of ruled surface strips. We illustrate the usability of the proposed process at hand of several projects, where the pipeline has been applied to compute NC data for mould production and to rationalize large parts of freeform facades.
