lattice structures
Interwoven geometric patterns
Lattice structures are frameworks of crisscrossing strips, bars, or beams that form a regular pattern of open spaces, typically diamond or square shapes.
In engineering and architecture, lattice structures provide strength while minimizing weight, appearing in bridges, towers, and aircraft components.
The term extends to crystallography, where it describes the orderly three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in a solid, and to mathematics, where it refers to specific algebraic structures with partial ordering.
