Skyscraper - Facade Variation

Skyscraper #4 - The Final

"When designing a building, you should find such an idea within, that makes you tremble before it." - Jože Plečnik

Gossamer Skyscraper - #3

Skyscraper #2

Getting there... 3d voronoi + genetic algorithms -> my unique skyscraper design.

Skyscraper #1

It surely would be hell to build, but I assume that the irregular exoskeleton may prove to be a wind-cheating design. Of course, this is merely a speculation which should be put to the test.

Skyscraper - Getting There!

Well, in the end, it’d have to be architecture. I decided to go for the skyscraper design, since the skyscraper has been the paramount challenge of architecture for more than a hundred years, and it still is.

So in the weeks ahead, I shall design – based on the stuff accumulated so far – a nice, somewhat surreal, skyscraper. What could be more fun?

Tools Improved

Today I added the possibility of simultaneously displaying both the Voronoi input points and the Voronoi graph in my software. In this way, I will understand the relationship between the Voronoi input and output in 3D space better.
