Three-Dimensional Translation of Japanese Katagami Patterns (2019)
article⁄Three-Dimensional Translation of Japanese Katagami Patterns (2019)
abstract⁄The aim of this ongoing doctoral research is to rely on the incommensurable potential held in Japanese Katagami patterns in order to translate them into threedimensional speculative architectures and architectural components that afford architects other design approaches differentiated from systemic and typical space configurations. While many designers are diving in the generative and computational design world by developing new personal methods, we would like to recycle the existing production of Katagami patterns into threedimensional architectural elements that will perpetuate work of Katagami artists beyond time, borders, and scope of applicability. Given that the current digital shift has given us more computation power, we are broadening Katagami with new fabrication strategies and new methods to explore, produce, and stock geometry and data. In this paper, we rely on the Processing library IGeo developed by Satoru Sugihara to build bottomup agentbased algorithms to study the architectural potential of Katagami patterns as a topdown clean and simple initial topology that avoids imitation of standard templates applied during the process of configuring and planning architectural space.
