The process of triaxial weaving illustrated
Different variations of the component, controlled by the parameters in grasshopper.
Image showing the component applied on a surface. The division/ application on the surface can be varied parametrically using law curves.

The method of construction of triaxial weave:
‘Sparse triaxial weaving uses three sets of parallel fibres, known as the warp, the whug and the weft. The whug is not present in conventional rectangular weaving. During construction it acts very much like a second warp. The warp can be laid down in simple parallel lines. The whug [...]
The basic concept of triaxial weaving.
Trying the pattern with strips in Rhino
Replacing the strips with pipes
Next step = to make this parametric!
Continuing from my previous post, shown below is the WIP of my trial at generating a ‘plain weave’ in grasshopper. I started off with a basic sketch of the plain weave.
Then I tried to build it geometrically in grasshopper, only to realize that it doesn’t give the desired effect! A simplified version in Rhino made [...]
I was trying out a pattern that looks like an irregular weave…
