The present paper discusses a novel computational design strategy for approximating architectural freeform geometry with discrete planar elements by using morphogenetic patterns. The investigation we report on is part of an ongoing research project, which is focused on the design of flat ornamental tessellations by using computational geometry for the discretization of nonstandard double curved forms. The significance of our approach lies in the fact that it allows the designer to progressively embrace the constructive constraints and their aesthetic potential already in the design stage and to follow them through to actual fabrication.
