“…The application of this type of reciprocal structures on developable surfaces and their adaptation to complex double-curvature forms is explained in the Ph.D. Thesis of Francisco González-Quintial (González 2016). Also interesting is the use of wood sheets and plywood boards either through the structural concept of active form, as presented in the work of Nabaei et al (2017) or though constructions that take advantage of the potential of the geometric curvature itself without introducing overstresses, as (Narváez-Rodríguez et al 2015). Planar reciprocal structures avoid the complex connections that are generated between the bars organized in reciprocal patterns where solutions of difficult stereotomy appear, although this aspect is minimized with the use of processes of digital manufacture.…”

Laminar Constructions and Reciprocal Structures

2017

Reciprocal structures are constructed by using a wide variety of patterns. These designs are a good source of inspiration when working with laminar constructions (sheets). Using the same formal schemes, laminar constructions feature better bending of their elements along the shape of the model and the application of extra pressure on the connection joints. Many of the geometric constructions made at the University of the Basque Country and presented in this paper show structural, constructive and formal improvements in many reciprocal structures assembled using sheets instead of linear elements. Keywords Reciprocal frame structures Á Leonardo grids Á Laminar constructions Á Complex shapes Á Developable surfaces Reciprocal Structures Although reciprocal structures have probably been known since antiquity, the first detailed sketches are found in the folio 899v of Leonardo da Vinci's Codex Atlanticus (Williams 2008). In recent years the scientific community has begun to consider these structures as something more than a historical curiosity. Some scholars attribute to Villard de Honnecourt the first drawing of a reciprocal
