I split this step into 2 parts: The “Cylinders” and the “Inner Piece”. The first step is to design the hexagonal piece, that will later be used for the pavilion structure. On the end of the tutorial some other shapes are shown. This was only a choice to try the script, as it would work with any other shape. This way the individual pieces look somewhat oriented within the overall shape, and create some nice patterns on the elevations. (*tessellation: an arrangement of shapes closely fitted together, especially of polygons in a repeated pattern without gaps or overlapping.)Īs for the shape of the pavilion itself, I decided to base it on an hexagon as well. The square or triangle also allow this, but the end result would be something much more rigid, since with the hexagon the structure can grow in 6 directions, and with a square only in 4.Īnother design choice was making the cylinders taller than the center of the piece. The intension is that the structure has some transparency, and with luck getting some cool light/shadow effects. The reason behind the shape of the pieces is that the hexagon allows tessellation*, without recurring to other shapes. It consists simply of multiple hexagonal pieces that are mounted together using vertical rods. The point of this script is to build a pavilion using a construction method I came up with.
