Abstract

This research explores the generation of a novel syntax for architecture driven by the preserved proportions of 4 ft. x 8 ft. rectangular sheets of flexible material. The primary goal is to develop strategies that reduce or eliminate material waste in small-scale public installations by leveraging the full dimensions of standard stock material as a building block. Following a brief survey on how geometric definition and construction sequences informed tectonic assemblies of the past, this paper introduces a subset of curved crease folding that uses planar reflections (sectional mirror operations) to create unique spatial and structural vocabularies by avoiding material offcuts entirely. Finally, the research illustrates a full-scale prototype that tests the effectiveness of the process in the form of a shade structure in a local neighborhood park.

将矩形映射到圆柱体:曲面结构表面的浪费意识构造
这项研究探索了一种由4英尺的保留比例驱动的新建筑语法的产生。X 8英尺弹性材料的矩形薄板主要目标是制定战略,通过充分利用标准库存材料作为建筑材料,减少或消除小规模公共设施中的材料浪费。在简要介绍了几何定义和构造序列如何影响过去的构造组合之后,本文介绍了弯曲折痕折叠的一个子集,该子集使用平面反射(截面镜像操作)来创建独特的空间和结构词汇,完全避免了材料的切割。最后,该研究展示了一个全尺寸的原型,以当地社区公园的阴影结构的形式测试了该过程的有效性。
