Exploratory Topology Modelling of Form-Active Hybrid Structures

Mark Pauly, Anders Holden Deleuran

The development of novel form-active hybrid structures (FAHS) is impeded by a lack of modelling tools that allow for exploratory topology modelling of shaped assemblies. We present a flexible and real-time computational design modelling pipeline developed ...

Automatic Generation of Constructable Brick Sculptures

Mark Pauly, Yuliy Gennadievich Schwartzburg, Romain Pierre Testuz

Fabrication of LEGO models in large scale requires careful pre-planning to produce constructable and stable models. We propose a system that, starting with a voxelization of a 3D mesh, merges voxels to form larger bricks, and then analyzes and repairs stru ...

Bistable Auxetic Surface Structures

Mark Pauly, Francis Julian Panetta, Tian Chen

We present Bistable Auxetic Surface Structures, a novel deployable material system based on optimized bistable auxetic cells. Such a structure can be flat-fabricated from elastic sheet material, then deployed towards a desired double-curved target shape by ...

Exploring Local Modifications for Constrained Meshes

Mark Pauly, Sofien Bouaziz, Bailin Deng, Yuliy Gennadievich Schwartzburg, Mario Moacir Deuss

Mesh editing under constraints is a challenging task with numerous applications in geometric modeling, industrial design, and architectural form finding. Recent methods support constraint-based exploration of meshes with fixed connectivity, but commonly la ...

How to weave a perfect sphere with curved strips

Mark Pauly, Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Francis Julian Panetta, Yingying Ren, Tian Chen, Samuel Jean Bernard Poincloux

Triaxial weaving, a craft technique that enables the generation of surfaces with tri-directional arrays of initially straight elastic strips, has long been loved by basket makers and artists seeking a combination of practical and aesthetically-pleasing str ...

Tencers: Tension-Constrained Elastic Rods

Mark Pauly, Yingying Ren, Michele Vidulis, Liliane-Joy Yana Dandy

We study ensembles of elastic rods that are tensioned by a small set of inextensible cables. The cables induce forces that deform the initially straight, but flexible rods into 3D space curves at equilibrium. Rods can be open or closed, knotted, and arrang ...

Caustic Art

Mark Pauly

The computation of caustics created by reflection or refraction of light is a well-studied problem in computer graphics. This paper investigates the inverse problem: Given a greyscale intensity image, find the shape of a surface that will cast a caustic th ...

Wire Mesh Design

Mark Pauly, Bailin Deng

We present a computational approach for designing wire meshes, i.e., freeform surfaces composed of woven wires arranged in a regular grid. To facilitate shape exploration, we map material properties of wire meshes to the geometric model of Chebyshev nets. ...

BamX: Rethinking Deployability in Architecture through Weaving

Mark Pauly, Stefana Parascho, Tian Chen, Yingying Ren, Seiichi Eduardo Suzuki Erazo

Deployable gridshells are a class of planar-to-spatial structures that achievea 3D curved geometry by inducing bending on a flat grid of elastic beams. However, theslender nature of these beams often conflicts with the structure’s load-bearing capacity.To ...

Architectural Caustics — Controlling Light with Geometry

Mark Pauly

Caustics are captivating light patterns created by materials bundling or diverting light by refraction or reflection. We know caustics as random side effects, appearing, for example, at the bottom of a swimming pool. In this paper we show that it is possib ...
