In this paper, we introduce an effective way of limit analysis on the bearing capacity of given trusses.

We present a novel isotropic surface remeshing algorithm that automatically aligns the mesh edges with an underlying directional field.

We study the design and optimization of polygonal meshes with concave planar faces.

In this paper we study pleated structures generated by folding paper along curved creases. We discuss their properties and the special case of principal pleated structures.

This study contributes to the discrete differential geometry of triangle meshes, in combination with discrete line congruences associated with such meshes.

We use concepts from discrete differential geometry (star-shaped Gauss images) to express fairness, and we also demonstrate how fairness can be incorporated into interactive geometric design of triangulated freeform skins.

We study the design and optimization of polyhedral patterns, which are patterns of planar polygonal faces on freeform surfaces.

This poster addresses two closely related geometric rationalizations of freeform surfaces with repetitive elements, freeform honeycomb structures defined as torsion-free structures where the walls of cells meet at 120 degrees, and Lobel frames formed by equilateral triangles.

We propose a new framework to reconstruct building details by automatically assembling 3D templates on coarse textured building models.

This paper is an overview of architectural structures which are either composed of polyhedral cells or closely related to them. We introduce the concept of a support structure of such a polyhedral cell packing.
