Article
Triaxial weaving is a handicraft technique that has long been used to create curved structures using initially straight and flat ribbons. Weavers typically introduce discrete topological defects to produce nonzero Gaussian curvature, albeit with faceted surfaces. We demonstrate that, by tuning the in-plane curvature of the ribbons, the integrated G...
Article
Basket weaving is a traditional craft for creating curved surfaces as an interwoven array of thin, flexible, and initially straight ribbons. The three-dimensional shape of a woven structure emerges through a complex interplay of the elastic bending behavior of the ribbons and the contact forces at their crossings. Curvature can be injected by caref...

In this paper, we present a planar mesh topology adjustment scheme for the auto- mated production of principled Kagome weave patterns. Kagome is a triaxial weave system based on a hexagonal lattice. Double curvature is induced by replacing hexagonal cells with alternative polygons. These singular- ities are digitally represented by constructing a t...

The topological principles underlying Kagome weave have long been tacitly understood and exploited by the craftsperson to realise functional and art objects with complex morphologies at modest length scales. In this paper, we report on efforts to transfer this understanding into digital design tools and fabrication approaches that can be applied at...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
This paper explores how computational methods of representation can support and extend kagome handcraft towards the fabrication of interlaced lattice structures in an expanded set of domains, beyond basket making. Through reference to the literature and state of the art, we argue that the instrumentalisation of kagome principles into computational...
