Design and Fabrication of Free-Form Reciprocal Structures
Abstract Due to their non-hierarchical nature, the geometry of reciprocal assemblies cannot be described conveniently with the available CAD modelling tools or by hierarchical, associative parametric modellers. The geometry of a network of reciprocally connected elements is a characteristic that emerges, bottom-up, from the complex interaction between all the elements’ shape, topology and position, and requires numerical solution of the elements’ geometric compatibility. A computational method, the “Reciprocalizer”, has been developed by the authors to predict and control the geometry of large networks of reciprocally connected elements, and it has been now perfected and included in a larger procedure that can be regarded as an extremely flexible and capable design tool for the generation of free-form reciprocal structures. The design tool has been applied for the design and realization of a free-form structure composed of 506 round, un-notched wooden elements with a diameter of 22 mm. This paper focuses on the geometry of reciprocal systems and the unique issues of fabrication posed by such assemblies.
