This space frame was generated by a double looped script. After defining the coordinates for connection point another series of loops were run to connect the points and form the space frame geometry. If you look closely you can see that the spacing of the members varies according to their own various geometric parameters. This variation in density is best noticed in plan view where you can see the overall pattern start to emerge. Scripting with space frames provides an infinite opportunity to explore different density patterns and the ability to map them on dynamic surface geometries.
We here at
a r c h i t e c t u r e 2 . 0 don't know much about engineering structures but we like to think that these denser areas could serves as girders or beams within the space frame. These lines could assume loads and direct them toward supports. But hey what do we know, our school only teaches us theory...
