Drawing Crosswise Deformation

by Tuğrul Yazar | December 11, 2024 20:48

Parquet deformation[1] refers to a transformation technique applied to a grid or tiling pattern, particularly one that resembles traditional parquet flooring, to create visually interesting and dynamic patterns. This concept is used in parametric design to alter repeating geometric tiles, producing effects such as warping, bending, or otherwise deforming the original pattern while maintaining an overall cohesive layout. In this short tutorial video, I am explaining the drawing of Crosswise deformation. This is a beginner-level drawing exercise that utilizes basic commands in Rhinoceros. To generate the deformation, I divide a diagonal line into several pieces and use the osnap utility to make the precise drawing.

In this video series, I demonstrate in-class exercises from the Architectural Geometry course I teach to first-year students. Using Rhinoceros software, we explore Euclidean constructions, basic drawing, and transformation commands. In addition, we added introductory fractals, regular and semi-regular tessellations, patterns, modeling, and unrolling polyhedra to the list of topics. These short drawing exercises are beneficial for junior architects, interior designers, industrial designers, and others interested in related disciplines. I’ll be posting exercises weekly on my blog and other platforms. So, today’s exercise is Drawing the Crosswise Deformation.

The software used in this course is Rhinoceros 3d (www.rhino3d.com[2]).
