"The system in motion

The QSH System has a considerable lower completed building cost when compared with other modular system derived buildings; and also offers far greater levels of robustness, flexibility and cost-effectiveness than any other system of modular technology currently available."

Honeycomb (geometry) From Wikipedia

Uniform honeycombs

A uniform honeycomb is a honeycomb in Euclidean 3-space composed of uniform polyhedral cells, and having all vertices the same (i.e. it is vertex-transitive or isogonal). There are 28 convex examples^[1], also called the Archimedean honeycombs. Of these, just one is regular and one quasiregular:

• Regular honeycomb: Cubes.
• Quasiregular honeycomb: Octahedra and tetrahedra

Space-filling polyhedra^[2]

A honeycomb having all cells identical within its symmetries is said to be cell-transitive or isochoric. A cell is said to be a space-filling polyhedron. Well-known examples include:

• The regular packings^[3] of cubes, hexagonal prisms, and triangular prisms.
• The uniform packing of truncated octahedra^[4].
• The rhombic dodecahedral honeycomb. ^[5]
• The squashed (rhombic) dodecahedron honeycomb ^[6].
• The rhombo-hexagonal dodecahedron honeycomb ^[7].
• A packing of any cuboid, rhombic hexahedron or parallelepiped.

bank in Oslo, Norway, designed by Dutch architects MVRDV.

"The pixelated design adapts to the urban context and combines an efficient and flexible internal organisation, based on small-scale working entities, with a variety of specific communal spaces, a sheltered public passage and respect for urban view lines."

SCI-Arc EXHIBITION: IwamotoScott Architecture: Voussoir Cloud

"Voussoir Cloud intentionally confuses the structural and material strategies. By beginning with a material operation, the design process is focused on calibrating the relationship of digital model to physical result. Working closely with IwamotoScott, SCI-Arc students will assist in the design, construction and installation of the work."

Posted in examples by peterguthrie on November 3, 2008

A 3d diversion (away from proper work) inspired by fascinating photos on flickr by seier+seier+seier of an agricultural building by German architect Hugo Häring from the 1920s.

Modeled in rhino3d using panelingtools."
