3D graphic statics using reciprocal polyhedral diagrams (3DGS) is one of the recent developments in the field of geometry-based structural form finding and is a powerful method in generating spatial structural forms and their force diagram in three dimensions. However, constructing reciprocal polyhedral diagrams in 3D is quite challenging and the research lacks a rigorous mathematical definition formulating the geometrical and reciprocal relationship between the form and force diagrams in 3DGS. Having been used for the past 150 years, 2D graphic statics has recently been formulated algebraically that allows better topological understanding the relationship between the form and the force diagrams in 2D. Such algebraic formulation is crucial in developing interactive tools enabling designers and practitioner to exploit the potentials of working with the form and force diagrams by computationally drawing the reciprocal diagrams for each design iteration which was otherwise quite tedious and cumbersome. This paper provides initial formulation of the reciprocal relationships between polyhedral form and the force diagrams in 3DGS and lays a foundation for further research in algebraic implementation of 3DGS.
