Hauer Study - ‘Design 3′
A study of a continuous suface by sculptor Erwin Hauer.
Erwin Hauer built many beautiful continuous surfaces with varied complexities without the use of a computer.
This particular design is influenced by Hauer’s ‘Design 3′ which was constructed in 1952.
This is a model of Hauer’s panel ‘Design 3′ which will be reconstructed below using a single module.
Breaking it down to it’s essential parts.
Once you have the base model you can play with scale, orientation and morphology to produce different systems.

Greg, this post is excellent for its clear documentation and systematic approach to geometric modeling (as well as beautiful images). It should be used as an example for similar posts in our class.
The last image, in which I believe each cell is unique, might be read as a very distorted view of a tiling of identical (and very high-relief) cells. Is it possible to create a model where the transformation from one cell to the next is less ambiguous (or even provide an additional view of the existing model)?
Thanks!
