Voronoi
Case study
Design + Parametic modeling
3 Day
2024
Scope
Learn more about parametric modeling and understand the idea behind voronoi structures.
Process
Voronoi structures are inherently complex yet beautifully organic. When I first learned about these structures, I was in awe at how intricate and beautiful they are. I noticed them a lot in the cycling community. Less mass equals less weight.
I started by watching some Youtube tutorials on the definition of a voronoi structure. I found out that the idea was founded by Georgy Voronoi and was originally used to create diagrams that defined different points and regions within a plane. This was useful for many reasons - one being to help understand the spread of cholera in London (1844). From there I decided to move along by applying this structure to a cycling helmet. I finally came up with a final design and moved over to Grasshopper for 3D modeling.
Outcome
An understand of the history of Voronoi structure, why they are useful, and how to model them.
2D Voronoi Structure for Understanding
A major part of this project was for me to learn and understand what a Voronoi structure is. These images help to explain.
Final Outcome
These images portray both the intricacies of the Voronoi Structure and the beauty of it.
