Introduction of the workshop:

Polyhedral Topologies in Blender using Tissue and Geometry NodesThe structural properties of polyhedral lattices make them a remarkable strategy for both experimental architecture and product design. They allow us to describe a volumetric object through a topological description of internal polyhedra. The polyhedral complex can be produced as a regular grid object, but it can also be deformed and manipulated using Blender’s Geometry Nodes, which allows for some form finding strategies that increase its effectiveness in specific loading conditions. When it comes to generate a polyhedral wireframe structure, the Tissue add-on allows to generate complex geometries while producing a clean topology suitable for digital fabrication workflows or for further procedural modeling, using Tessellation strategies.

What You’ll Learn?

Polyhedral Principles: Explore the use of polyhedral lattices in architecture and design.
Geometry Nodes: Utilize Blender’s Geometry Nodes for form-finding and geometry manipulation.
Tissue Add-on: Create complex geometries while ensuring clean topology for fabrication.
Hands-On Modeling: Model an architectural pavilion with a focus on structure and surface.
3D Printing Insights: Apply workflows for experimental structures and complex lattices in 3D printing.

Methodology:

This workshop is to model a small architectural pavilion. During a first part dedicated to tutorials about Geometry Nodes and Tissue the participants will understand the principles behind polyhedral complexes and form-finding combined with Tissue’s tessellation. Working on an individual exercise they will produce complex organic structures working on both its structural layout and surface articulation.

During the workshop we will work with Blender, using Geometry Nodes together with the Tissue add-on in order to combine the flexibility of procedural nodes together with non-destructive Tissue tools such as Polyhedral Wireframe and Tessellation. We will understand how to procedurally manipulate polyhedral complex geometries using fields in Geometry Nodes, deploying some basic form-finding strategies. In addition to that, using Tissue, we will understand the importance of a clean topology for further manipulation of complex geometries.

 

This workflow can benefit architects working on experimental structures and designers working with complex lattices for 3D printing.

Students will learn the basic principles of Geometry Nodes in Blender. In addition to that, thanks to a combination of form-finding strategies and parametric modeling using the Tissue add-on they will also understand how to obtain functional and appealing architectural objects.
