Nice to see Michael Hansmeyer still following his dreams: The White Tower was finally revealed 2 weeks ago, currently the largest 3D printed structure in the world (30 meters [90ft] tall), located in a small village in Switzerland:

(It was an honor teaching a workshop about my open source geometry, voxel, subdivision & physics tools to his MAAS students at ETH Zurich some 15 years ago, when he/they first started fabricating generative 3D sculptures/structures...)

In a world that’s rapidly embracing innovation, architecture and engineering are no longer just about drawing lines or sketching beautiful forms. They’ve become deeply rooted in computation, algorithms, and smart design processes that harness the power of Topology Optimization to create more with less. #AIinArchitecture #ComputationalDesign #DigitalFabrication #TopologyOptimization

A century-old enigma, graph theory and design
Behind a static form, there are connections, transformations and, above all, the elegance of mathematics.

Built using the Comodo project:
https://github.com/COMODO-research/Comodo.jl

Working on nested triply periodic lattices. Here a Gyroid levelset image is created and two interwoven/complementary surfaces are obtained by constructing isosurfaces for the same positive (white) or negative level (red). In the animation the levelset level is adjusted so the surfaces "shrink away" from each other.

Working on automated quasi-structured hexahedral meshing of branched structures in #Comodo.

My current solution features a lot of fun tricks, e.g. ray tracing, distance marching, surface smoothing, Bezier splines, lofting, thickening etc.
