Connection Annotation_2:25:08
A few images of the connection annotation. A three-digit number is applied to each connection describing:
-The number of the panel in the x direction
-The number of the panel in the y direction
-The edge of the panel : 0,1,2,3
This image shows a version with 2 connections up & 2 connections down for each panel.
A second iteration was produced which gradients the normal of the connection based on the surface curvature. Not sure about its structural consequences but could be a nice detail….



Tesselion is a project by Skylar Tibbits which proposes a system of flat panel tessellation derived from complex surfaces to
enable ease in constructability and a directly evolved spatial environment through lighting,
programmatic adaptation and structural simplicity. Each panel’s uniqueness is afforded by
the efficiency of digital fabrication while coded parametric relationships allow an emergent structural
efficiency, from a single panel to the complete adaptability of the surface as a whole.
