How to Keep Our Brains Active at Home by Learning c6xty – C60 – Geometry

August 5, 2020 / steffan / Kirby, Buckminster Fuller Articles, Nature’s Geometry C6XTY

Introduction: This article is about keeping our brains active while sheltering at home. We talked to an expert Kirby Urner about learning C60, who is a philosophy major. Kirby was born in Chicago and has lived all over the world, eventually returning to Portland, Oregon. His journey includes teaching high school math in Jersey City, […]

Navigating the Lattice

May 25, 2020 / steffan / Array/Lattice Variations, Concepts

Curated by Kirby! You have no doubt played a 2D game on a grid of squares, chess or checkers for example. Not every piece moves the same way perhaps, however in principle each square has four neighbors over the edge, and four more along the diagonals. Bishops know those diagonals… …whereas Knights move over one […]

Generating the Flextegrity Lattice

May 25, 2020 / steffan / Concepts, Kirby

Our purpose here is to elaborate a classic Python framework for storing and writing geometric information in a variety of formats, suitable for ray tracing and use within CAD programs. The target architecture we want to model is Flextegrity, a tension-compression lattice based on holding compression islands in relative positions, in an all-way space. Its inventor […]

Stay Prepared For Earthquakes With Proper Measures

May 7, 2020 / Sam Lanahan / Earthquake Proof Structures
Earthquake proof structures

We all know that natural disasters are sudden and dangerously powerful. There are many factors that make natural disasters a severe threat to the community worldwide. Even though professionals have learned methods for the anticipation of disasters like hurricanes, blizzards, or tornadoes, some natural disasters still strike without any warning. And one of the most […]

Slope Protection & Erosion Control Handled By C6XTY

May 2, 2020 / Sam Lanahan / Erosion Control
Erosion Control

For all major and minor construction projects, slope protection, soil stabilization, erosion control, and earth retention systems are some significant needs. Civil Engineers and landscape architects always worry about how crucial these solutions can be. But you don’t have to worry anymore as C6XTY is here to help with all these aspects. C6XTY lattices can […]

Kirby’s Rhombic Triacontahedron

May 1, 2020 / steffan / Kirby, Material Properties

The rhombic triacontahedron (RT) dissects into 120 such modules, left and right handed. Meanwhile, the regular tetrahedron may be sliced into four quadrants, each of which further subdivides into three pairs of left and right handed versions of the same shape, for a total of 24 modules, differently shaped from the ones above. Those of […]
