I like the principals at least... something for the computer modeller to get their teeth into!
UK news - Leeds City Council has just revealed the final blueprints and schematics for its planned 13,500-seater arena, which has been designed by Populous. The internationally-renowned green stadium designers have opted for a honeycomb design that uses a Voronoi diagram as its basis.
How can this project even be inspired by a Voronoi? It is a spatial idea, which Populous only use (not well) on the facade. Could have been potentially interesting as a multi-sport complex, but this falls way short.
That's the number of voronoi diagrams up on the wall in each architecture school, everywhere in the world, at all times. Its a constant used to calculate the relative awesomeness (RA) of all things created with grasshopper. The tradeoff is that every time a kid in undergrad says the word in a presentation in a way makes it sound like they discovered this amazing truth through years of searching the amazon rain forest with a ragtag team of monks and typewriter repairmen, 3 kittens get axed.
It can also be used to calculate the relationship of tire pressure to gas mileage.

Nice to see you bots.
This project is one of the earlier projects I know of that uses voronoi tesselation to creat form - Minifie Nixon's VCA:

None of your links work. Yes we can probably figure out what the proper link are, but that would be considered work.
Just delete the repeated 'http//'
I'm going to be the elitist prick here:
holy shit, I would rather get hit by a plane than hear about voronoi again

Hi Diabase and the wider community. Though I'd return to the beloved Archinect now that i am unemployed and have some time on my hands.
Even the elitist pricks have made an appearance, can't say I missed them!!

The Voronoi Constant = 8.253 ....
