>Structure: Tangential Grid


An experiment. Take a doubley curved object, regulate the uv curves, then create developable surfaces from the controlled moments. Because they are tangent, once the moments are pinned, the material will begin to fold and curve based on the pins. Thus, a flat woven structure can be used as an alternative to a grid structure.

i see the problem with the sphere, but it seems like this process would work for a surface.

do you still have the surface you made for the digital jacal in genova?
