Thank's for a very interesting article , --- this remind me about a project, an idear that acturly made me do the programs needed, to manufactor reinforcement steel rods as a web , with gurantie for fit in such a way that a simple one function robot would produce exact manufactored reinforcement rods for any organic form by ferro-cement . Now this is round 15 years ago just before I realised that even this would bring the exact shape in steel rods , ready to cover with chiken wire then it still only deliver the surface , not the structure but true fast and easy and with one simple mashin a complete assembly from the mesh entities.

This project seem also to base the lattrice on the mesh model --- measure the length of each string and assemble these with some universal fitting easy to do from a polymesh entity and as many other mesh projects there are a result it is ofcaurse possible to make domes and organic shape mainly surface models in any scale. So a very interesting project that produce exactly what you will expect . So it is not to promote or anything, but these was the exact thoughts I had , before I realised that the issue is not the surface but the core structure, that the surface is ofcaurse nice to have but there also need to be something to hold the floors to keep the surfaces in the air.

Guess it all come down to realising a lot of new way's to project by drawing the design 3D and directly from the 3D CAD drawing , have manufactored a computed building mass , there surface models alway's been popular as we can use simple math. to do just that , in a number of way's. 3D-H is maybe just a pointer to what options but the side effects are obvious to develob a new way to put things together but more, facilitating the sheet material that assemble the framework from frames --- goodby girder hanger and profile gridwork , no more timbers or footholds , now designers and artists can freely form , shape have calculated the volumes the very framework assembly frames can be inserted by Decor in various scale and still render a whole structure. Ofcaurse you could have simply chopped the length of the bricks, made them all various size to form a pattern or an interpolation but not even that is a build in trend pattern, in programs to build houses, if you want to use the very brick for patterns High Tech do not offer you a one function Robot, not even there the tradisional compeed the multible new. Kill The Brock.
