About This Course

This course explores the use of 3D texture tessellation in architecture, offering a modular approach to creating complex and visually dynamic surfaces. Focusing on non-periodic and periodic patterns, learners will discover how to design surfaces with 3D reliefs using a single tile or a few different tiles, utilizing parametric modelling tools. Key techniques covered include generating smooth transitions between adjacent tiles, automating tile boundary formation, and optimizing configurations for cost-effective and scalable construction. Ideal for architects and designers, this course provides a foundation for applying tessellation to surfaces, facades, and interior spaces, enhancing aesthetics through repetition without sacrificing diversity in design.

Key Areas Covered:

  • Introduction to Tessellation in Architecture: Historical and modern applications of texture tessellation.
  • 3D Relief and Texture Creation: Techniques for generating non-periodic and periodic patterns using a limited number of tile shapes.
  • Parametric Design with Grasshopper: Using scripting to automate tile generation and pattern creation.
  • Boundary Formation and Tile Transitions: Ensuring continuity and smooth transitions across tessellated surfaces.
  • Modular Construction and Cost Efficiency: Leveraging tessellation for scalable, cost-effective building surfaces.
