SUMMARY:Designing with Tension: Nearly-Developable Patch Layouts
DESCRIPTION:Anna Maria Eggler (ETH Zürich); Nico Pietroni (University of T
 echnology Sydney); and Pengbin Tang, Michal Piovarci, and Bernd Bickel (ET
 H Zürich)\n\nWe propose a novel method to automatically approximate a free
 -form surface using a set of near developable patches that form a tensile-
 like structure when anchored at a sparse set of points. These structures a
 re appealing for their ability to span large areas with low material cost 
 and structural weight, while also offering strong aesthetic potential. Our
  algorithm strikes a balance between approximation accuracy, patch simplic
 ity, and visual quality, while ensuring manufacturability and structural f
 easibility. The layout is guided by a curvature field and refined through 
 a combinatorial process that incrementally adds patches until performance 
 and fabrication constraints are met. Redundant elements are then removed t
 o improve clarity and elegance.\n\nWe demonstrate the effectiveness of our
  method on several architectural surfaces, supported by fabricated prototy
 pes that showcase the interplay between geometric design, structural behav
 ior, and visual appeal.\n\nRegistration Category: Full Access, Full Access
