算法及数字建模技术在设计中的应用

The Application of Algorithm and Digital Modeling Techniques in Architectural Design

算法是一系列解决问题的指令集合,通过计算机编程及计算,指令集合可以进行数字建模、生成可视化图形,而这些图形即为建筑设计的雏形。通过案例分析,论述了Circle Packing,Substrate,L-System,Voronoi等算法在生成村落路网、划分地块、建立景观乃至设计建筑单体过程中的应用,探讨了算法及数字建模技术在建筑设计中应用的潜能。

Algorithm is a series of commands in order to solve problems. By programming and calculating in the computer, commands can make modeling and generate visual images, which could be the prototypes of architectural design. Based on case studies, we discuss how algorithm and digital modeling techniques are applied in architectural design. The algorithms including Circle Packing, Substrate, L-System, Voronoi, etc. are used to generate road networks, blocks, landscape and buildings in the project of Sunhe county. The paper explores the potential of algorithm and digital modeling in the design.
