The research focuses on the planarisation script of curved panels to create planar panels while maintaining the overall curvature of the module.

 

Owing to the three dimensional shape of the separate blocks and the geometrically complex fabrication constraints, the challenge is to coordinate the design of the individual voussoirs, in accordance with the technical machine set-up. The techniques for tessellation and for generation and optimisation of vousoirs have been integrated in the TNA-based form-finding tool RhinoVault. The result shows the efficient combination and integration of construction material and structural form.
