Voronoi Algorithms Location
Ohio, US Architect
Matsys C-Wall was a project that aimed to explore cellular aggregate structures, especially in honeycomb and voronoi geometries. These structures are capable of performing structurally, as well as visually and thermally. As shown in the image, the voronoi wall is self-supporting its own weight by using a zigzag plan that increases its structural stability. Voronoi tesellation was used, creating two layers of two-dimensional planes that are joined at certain edges.
Parametric Model
Voronoi algorithms are now used in various fields, including satellite navigation, animal habitat mapping and urban planning. In this particular project, however, voronoi algorithms were used to simulate and materialise point-based particles. The points were “transformed into volumetric cells which can be unfolded, CNC cut and reassembled into larger aggregates�19.
