Discrete geometric structures motivated by applications and architecture (C01)

• Subject Area: Mathematics
• Term: from 2016 to 2024
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 195170736

Contemporary architecture of large-scale buildings makes it necessary to subdivide large surfaces into smaller segments, the panels. While the building industry, architects and engineers are mainly interested in design aspects, manufacturing and statics, we will systematically investigate the related purely mathematical problems together with computational aspects. In particular we will investigate diagonal parametrizations, ring pattern structures, and discrete structures in sphere geometries.
