The subject of this research focuses on the hexagonal structure and its role in architecture as a compositional tool. Although the hexagonal pattern is commonly observed in nature, it is mainly associated with the honeycomb of bees. The study of bees, from the structure of their society to the analysis of hexagonal prisms, contributes to a better understanding of the honeycomb structure itself, its construction, and its function; this allows for an in-depth observation of the properties of the hexagon. The study raises many questions. Why has this particular shape been chosen, and what purposes does it serve? What is achieved by combining materials and morphology? How could architecture and engineering benefit from it? Is the hexagonal shape found in other natural structures? Through literature review and study of these structures, the hexagonal pattern comes to the forefront, so that its characteristics can be recorded. Both as a shape and as a pattern, it presents interesting geometric and mechanical properties, which it imparts to the respective structures. The extrapolation of these elements to different scales has led to new discoveries, which, in the field of architecture, translate into an enrichment of the compositional process, new materials, new construction typologies, layouts, and decoration; all based on the properties and characteristics of the hexagon. The goal of this research is to approach in depth such an intriguing shape, which nature seems to favor but human architecture hesitates to utilize, through the presentation and analysis of architectural applications of the hexagon. By studying its properties its implementation in real life applications, questions regarding the construction process, aesthetics, and materials can be answered.
