Model for stl...
Using pipe command for quick thickness (though don't like profile, can change later).  Will be applied to distorted ground plan.

Working on another option with thirty-seconds of a triangle i had this happy accident...

Have been concentrating on creating a series of triangulated arches that become very densely packed.  The problem with the pattern of triangles i was using was that the arches created promenades and did not seem to enclose spaces.  This result seems better to me and works with twenty-fourths of a triangle.  The effect should be even better when the pattern is distorted.  More later...

A little disappointing.  I think it would help if i reduced the jump in height between the arches.  It should be gradual.. but perhaps when i start filling the gaps between the arches at the top with more scaffolding (a type of surface) it will seem better.

It might not look like much but this is a breakthrough for my project!  My church is going to be awesome!
Oh, and i think i am going to have to go all Gaudi for my model and do some hanging arches (Gaudi model link)

Sketches for arch layouts in plan and section



Render from current rhino model (red is boundary wall, blue are arches and black denotes neighbouring spaces)

Preferred options based on the repetition, subdivision and rotation of pentagons...
More to come, i am going 3D

Arches to 3 generations...
