abstract = "The interest in pattern geometry and its application to architecture may be
seen throughout history. While some authors were fascinated by pattern
aesthetics, others were focused on their effectiveness and underlying
principles of pattern formation. In continuing with the work of the second
group of authors, this paper reviews opportunities for efficient ways of
implementing patterns in the design of architectural elements, supported by
recent developments in parametric design and digital fabrication techniques.
This paper aims to analyze pattern configurations found in nature in order
to determine the underlying generation principles and the potential of their
application for 3D printed slab systems. Using case study methodology,
selected patterns will be applied in developing a generative parametric
design system, which will further be tested in creating and (small-scale)
fabricating ribbed slab elements. The result of the research is the
generalization of a design approach based on principles of natural pattern
formation to produce sustainable design solutions that rely on the
transposition of the inherent efficiency of natural systems, such as low
energy or material consumption.",
