A design tool for globally developable discrete architectural surfaces using Ricci flow

Abstract This paper presents an approach for the design of discrete architectural surfaces that are globally developable; that is, having zero Gaussian curvature at every interior node. This kind of architectural surface is particularly suitable for fast fabrication at a low cost, since their curved...
