结构性能化设计工具在家具设计中的应用和比较

Application and Comparison Study of Structure Performance-based Design Tools in Furniture Design

目的结合迅速发展的数字技术,探索家具设计方法和制造手段的新范式。方法在数字设计领域“强结构”设计思潮的影响下,运用以图解静力学分析法发展起来的几种计算机结构性能化设计工具,如Polyframe、3DGS、Millipede3D,以及Ameba等,在家具设计中尝试将主动式结构找形与家具设计相结合,探索数字化家具设计原理及方法。结果运用不断更新的结构分析与生成工具,将传统的、自上而下的设计师主导式设计转为自下而上的生成式全新工作流程,也创造了更新的、更生动的家具设计语言和形式。结论随着计算机技术的高速发展,运算式设计逐渐成为设计的重要方法之一。新的设计流程从底层逻辑上打破了由包豪斯倡导的标准化材料选型和结构选型的设计局限性,突破了传统意义上功能优先的国际主义设计样式。同时,通过运算技术进行的材料优化、力学优化能更好地回应节能环保的需要,形成大批量定制的新时代形式美学和建构美学。

The work aims to explore new paradigms of furniture design methods and manufacturing means in combination with rapidly developing digital technology.Under the influence of the"strong structure"design trend in digital design,several computer structure performance analysis tools developed by the graphical statics,such as Polyframe,3DGS,Millipede3D and Ameba,etc.,were used to integrate active structure form-finding into furniture design to explore the principles and methods of digital furniture design.With constantly updated structural analysis and generation tools,the traditional top-down designer-led design was transformed into a bottom-up generative new workflow,and a new vivid furniture design language and form was also created.With the rapid development of computer technology,computational design has gradually become one of the important methods of design.The new design process breaks the design limitations of standardized material selection and structural selection advocated by Bauhaus from the underlying logic,and then breaks through the international design style that gives priority to function in the traditional sense.At the same time,material optimization and mechanical optimization through computing technology better respond to energy conservation and environmental protection,forming a new era of form aesthetics and construction aesthetics of mass customization.
