Drawing Lattice Deformation

by Tuğrul Yazar | December 11, 2024 20:53

Lattice deformation in parametric design refers to the process of manipulating a grid or mesh structure so that it changes shape in response to specific inputs or parameters. We use this approach widely in computational design for creating complex, organic forms and adaptive systems. Also, lattice deformation can be applied in architectural facades, structural systems, and product design where adaptability and aesthetic fluidity are desired. In this short tutorial video, I am drawing a lattice deformation in the Rhinoceros. It is based on beginner-level commands and procedures. However, the result is a good example of using referential lattices as the basis of the more complex tessellations.

In this video series, I present a variety of in-class exercises from my first-year Architectural Geometry course. Using Rhinoceros software, we delve into Euclidean constructions, basic drawing and transformation commands, introductory fractals, regular and semi-regular tessellations, patterns, modeling, and unrolling polyhedra. These concise drawing exercises are beneficial for junior architects, interior designers, industrial designers, and enthusiasts from other disciplines. I’ll be sharing exercises each week on my blog and other platforms. Here is the exercise: Drawing the Lattice Deformation.

The software used in this course is Rhinoceros 3d (www.rhino3d.com[1]).
