Based on the Sommerville tetrahedron, part systems using multiple compatible types can be created that produce more differentiated complex aggregations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

To expand the catalog of parts based on type-18 clusters<\/a> from a previous study<\/a> a larger-scale part can be created by merging four halves of tetra-cells into a new part, that contains a flat cluster of four bike frames. The new part C has four connections at the same locations as in the initial parts A and B and is therefore compatible with the base parts – aggregations using this set of 3 part types are interconnected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aggregations contain larger voids and have a certain directionality. This differentiation and deviation from the repetitive patterns of single-part type systems seem to offer potential for architectural scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smaller scale part<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Additional compatible parts can also be found when subdividing the base cell (Sommerville tetrahedron).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The additional parts each have at least one connection compatible with the part it is a subdivision of, but each also introduces new connections. When organizing the rule set to allow only connections in between compatible connection types, the overall system still can close onto itself – that is to interconnect at standard connections. With this specific cluster geometry inside the tetra cell, additional bike frames can be added to part A to match some of the connections introduced by the smaller parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Often such discrete aggregation systems either offer interconnectivity at the “cost” of design limitations because parts have to be constrained to populate a regular grid (network graph) for interconnections to occur; Or when part systems are designed freely in a bottom-up process, the resulting aggregations are usually highly irregular L-systems<\/a> with only loose ends.
The system described here shows the potential to combine the advantages of both types of systems – highly complex aggregations can be achieved that can vary from repetitive to irregular<\/strong> patterns by maintaining the capacity to interconnect<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
