Triangular Grid on Freeform

Hi,

For one of my courses in school, I have to remodel Zaha Hadids - "Gouangzhou Opera House".


I've already built a rough model of the larger building.



I am now unsure of how to proceed.
Basicly the structure of the Building can be seperated into three layers.

1. There are the big triangles that create the form of the buildings.
2. The supporting structure.
3. windows and tiles

For part 1 I am remodelling the cladding.

part 2 and 3 are the same, just with a different size of triangles.

My question now ist, how can i cut out the triangles of the supporting structure and the windows and tiles?

Or do you have any other idea how i might remodel this building?

Thanks in advance, Simon

Well technically it looks like its not freeform, but faceted, and you have modeled it that way. So just treat each triangle independently.

Because the edges of each neighboring triangle are same length, if you divide the curve by same number you will get triangle grid that matches.

I've just made a quick example,
