Geometry Applied to Designing Spatial Structures: Joining Two Worlds

摘要

The usefulness that Computational Geometry can reveal in the design of building and engineering structures is put forward in this article through the review and unification of the procedures for generating C-Tcngent Space Structures, which make it possible to approximate quadric surfaces of various types, both as lattice and panel structures typologies. A clear proposal is derived from this review: the possibility of synthesizing a great diversity of geometric design methods and techniques by means of a classic Computational Geometry construct, the power diagram, deriving from it the concept of Chordal Space Structure.
