This is my publication in Megaron, Yıldız Technical University Faculty of Architecture Journal. It is titled: “The relationship between Gaussian curvature and surface paneling approaches in architecture”. You can read the abstract of the paper below: As the design of free-form architectural surfaces becomes easier, questioning and foreseeing the feasibility of the construction of these surfaces becomes important. Such an inquiry requires sufficient knowledge of architectural geometry besides the knowledge […]

Digging out with Grasshopper, Rhinoscript, and Paneling Tools, everything seems to be more and more automated and fast. However my colleagues Mete, Benay and Elif reminded me that, we can always do much with those high-end architectural geometry tools, but we still have to understand and follow the roots, probably best described by the “manual ways”. Sometimes using these methods would be much more intuitive as they are SLOW enough […]
This is an update on my 2012 exercise on rhombille tiling. This reminded me of the old-school subdivisions of surfaces again after 11 years. It was while reading about rhombic dodecahedron (the stackable solid), I’ve come across this cute tiling. It’s quite simple, just a hexagonal grid with a special reconstruction. I decided to recreate it by using well-known native Grasshopper components. I animated the result with a variation of […]
The Truncated Icosahedron (5,6,6) is an Archimedean Solid we often recognize as the iconic soccer ball. This geometric structure, also affectionately known as the “Buckyball” in honor of the visionary architect Buckminster Fuller, has gained significant popularity and recognition both within the realms of mathematics and everyday life. It is composed of twelve regular pentagons and twenty regular hexagons, meticulously arranged to achieve a harmonious balance. This symmetrical nature makes […]
