N2 - This paper builds on recent progress in computing with geometric constraints,
which is particularly relevant to architectural geometry. Not only do various
kinds of meshes with additional properties (like planar faces, or with equilibrium
forces in their edges) become available for interactive geometric modeling, but
so do other arrangements of geometric primitives, like honeycomb structures. The
latter constitute an important class of geometric objects, with relations to “Lobel”
meshes, and to freeform polyhedral patterns. Such patterns are particularly interesting
and pose research problems which go beyond what is known for meshes, e.g.
with regard to their computing, their flexibility, and the assessment of their fairness.
