建结

KNOT MAKING

本文尝试探讨数字建造中数字模型和物理现实之间的差异。在大、中、小三种尺度的实验中,分别运用独特的材料和方法来进行结的建造。这组实验同时也提出参数化材料概念,探讨如何在大型结的建造中克服材料局限性和提高组装精确性。

This article tries to explore the digital fabrication by addressing the disparity between the computational form and the physical realization. The proposition of fabricating a knot is explored at three scales： fabric, hand-held and room-sized. Each scale uses a distinct material and fabrication method. It also explores the conception of parametric material to overcome the limitation on the materials and improve assembly precision, in particular for the room/sized knot.
