TESSELLAR > introduction: HONEYCOMB BUILDING TYPES
http://tessellar.blogspot.com/2007/03/honeycomb-building-types.html
124 Home | Theory. A residential block is divided into two units, linking back to back, each house accessed from a separate cul-de-sac. Viewed from the courtyard in front of a duplex, the house looks like a detached house. A block is partitioned into three units,whereby each unit gains access from seperate courtyards. Looking at the front of these houses, they look like detached homes. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Subscribe to Tessellar Blog. And get a FREE E-Book. We present here a new method...

124 Home | Theory. There are two essential parts to Honeycomb housing: first is the design method which is based on the geometric concept of tessellations; second, is the re-interpretation of the idea of ‘neighborhood’, that is at present still strongly influenced by the ‘neighborhood unit’ concept, first introduced in 1929 by a sociologist, Clarence Perry, in the US. In geometry, to tessellate means to cover a plane with a pattern without having any gap or overlap. For centuries artists and craf...

TESSELLAR > introduction: IMPROVING LAND-USE EFFICIENCY
http://tessellar.blogspot.com/2007/03/improving-land-use-efficiency.html
124 Home | Theory. A terrace can be seen as a row of houses surrounded by roads. In contrast, honeycomb houses surround the road. It is easy to understand intuitively that roads accessing internally are more efficient than roads accessing houses from the external boundary. This accounts for the efficiency of cul-de-sacs. However, the circle does not tessellate. But hexagonal neighbourhoods interlock without gap or overlap. We compared two theoretical sites. An efficient layout of terrace houses o...

TESSELLAR > introduction: TESSELLATION PLANNING
http://tessellar.blogspot.com/2007/03/tessellation-planning.html
124 Home | Theory. In geometry, to tessellate means to cover a plane with a pattern without having any gap or overlap. For centuries artists and craftsmen have used tessellation as a tool to create visual effects on surfaces. Tiling is the most common form of tessellation, and in its simplest form the tiles are regular polygons. This block is further tessellated to form a neighbourhood of 250 houses.
