Building on a general aim from our previous project<\/a>, this study investigates a discrete design system for inter-connected spatial structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most discrete design systems are based on periodic patterns (eg. orthogonal grids) and therefore allow for structures with its parts automatically forming closed cells, usually densely packed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other bottom-up aggregations from identical parts are often branching out into disconnected chains of parts. Apart from the bifurcation point, those “branches” don’t touch, describing an L-system<\/a> with open ends similar to a tree:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such structures allow for design flexibility, but form weak constructions when materialized. In this study design methods for modular systems are tested, that form emergent cells and thus are inter-connected constructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As in Branch Formations<\/a><\/em>, in our previous research the discrete design tool WASP<\/a> is used to generate aggregations in Grasshopper\/Rhino3D.
Fox<\/a>, another discrete tool for the same modeling environment, allows for realtime-feedback: When parts are being changed, the overall aggregation changes simultaneously, however the underlying algorithm is based on an L-system with limited control options. Based on Gediminas Kirdeikis’ video tutorial<\/a>, an aggregation system with transformable y-shaped parts is created with the aim to find a configuration with cross-connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As indicated in the aggregation sequence graph (red lines), cells occur occasionally (marked in magenta), but only locally without further cross connections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
