ABSTRACT:
Families of periodic space structures, configurations, labyrinths and space frames based on seven different known periodic space grids composed of one edge-length and even-sided polygons. The space structures have two different polyhedra corresponding to the vertices of the source grids. The space labyrinths are characterized by a continuous surface having two types of vertices and dividing space into two parts. The space frames have one type and length of strut and two different shapes of nodes. The structures have cross-disciplinary applications in the design and scientific fields. In architecture and design fields, applications for building systems one earth or outer space, architectural space layouts, environmental sculptures, playground structures, honeycomb structures, toys, puzzles, model-kits, etc. are possibilities. The space labyrinths, besides their architectural applications, provide model geometries for the design of synthetic molecular filters, micro-filters for purification of liquids and gases, and designs for micro-screens.
