Tabbing Optimization

Deployment of randomized circles on developable surfaces

The common UV subdivision methods in Grasshopper and Rhino rely on fixed parameterization, which often leads to awkward residue or leftover space when applied to surfaces with irregular boundaries. In contrast, a method based on randomly distributing points across a surface avoids this rigidity, allowing for a more adaptable subdivision strategy. By controlling only the radius of circles placed on the surface, this technique can be optimized to minimize gaps, ideally achieving a near-complete coverage. Furthermore, this process can be extended by integrating connective seams between the circular elements, enabling a continuous textural logic across a developable surface.

Thoughts On Writting Blogs

I decided to keep the hobby of writing blogs online as a complement to making stuff and keep track of various thought processes, which have been most likely forgotten. It is my wish that this blog can become a way to gather reflections and investigations on the current trends in architecture, or just anything.

About Me

Hi,This is Chenkun Ma’s Blog。 I’m currently a master student at the princeton school of architecture. I started this blog as an archive of my work for a class taught by Professor mitch mcewen on robotic fabrication.
