A Sense of Order: Geometrical tessellations

CRYSTALLINE AGGREGATIONS
水晶石聚合

No cultural practice is more indebted to a technical apparatus than architecture to geometry of representation. Software technology has affected design in a considerable way. Its geometric implications and process consistency has yield the way of a new set of parameters for design. Therefore it is important to acknowledge the relevance of the development and evolution of the different phases of the design process within this new set of techniques. Delineation and Dynamic systems is critical learning process of techniques that can produce a different way of thinking.

没有文化内涵的实践更多的依赖于一种技术仪器多于建筑以形体的表现方式。软件技术通过一种相当重要的方式在影响着设计。它的几何学影响以及从头到尾的过程开辟了一条新的参数化设计手法。因此这将非常重要地去了解相关不同设计阶段过程的发展和演变在这些新的技术之中。不同性和动态系统是非常紧要的技术学习过程，可以产生更多的思考。

The works critically participate on the current debate about the state of technology for the production of architecture, and question the ideological and formal implications of various digital representational modes. Besides having a tied agenda in terms of its assignments, one of the ultimate aspirations of this is to become a dynamic testing ground for the emergence of new ideas and techniques that could be actively brought and actualized into the design projects.

作品批判性的参与在最近的讨论关于整个州的建筑生产技术，并且质疑了意识形态和不同的数字化模型表现方式在形式上的含义。伴随着紧张的时间安排包括各种测验，在这些之中，其中一种最终的意向是成为一个动态的不断浮现新的想法和手法可以被积极地运用和实现在建筑设计之中的测试平台。

The work explore new possibilities of communications, breaking with the linear process for a new model, dynamic, of multiple entries, which allows to read ideas but also to be the ideas at the same time.

作品探索了交流的新的可能性，突破了常规线性的工作过程，取而代之的是一个新的模式，动态的，多途径的，可以允许表达想法并且同时成为想法本身。

We used as a point of departure for our investigation the search for interlocking forms and cellular aggregations. The task chosen for my team was the invention of an original geometrical mutation interlocking system and the understanding of this system in architectural terms (modules, panels, cladding…etc). We handled an integrated digital process of design and fabrication: we designed, modeled, represent, animated, and fabricated their interlocking system transitioning from digital description to physical manufacturing.

我们把寻找连锁相接的形式以及细胞状聚合体用做为我们的学术研究的一个出发点。我们小组的任务是创造一个原始的几何形突变的联锁系统并且将此系统理解成为建筑系统（模具，面板，骨架等等）。我们处理一个互相关联的数字化设计与营造过程内容包括设计，预制模具，表现，动画，并营造联锁系统，将其从数字化描述转变为实体制造。

Software technology has affected design in a considerable way. Its geometric implications and process consistency has yield the way of a new set of parameters for design. Therefore it is important to acknowledge the relevance of the development and evolution of the different phases of the design process within this new set of techniques. As part of the Visual Studies sequence at SCI-ARC the course “Delineation and Dynamic Systems: static expression of dynamic processes” is an exercise on techniques that can produce a different way of thinking. The work focused on the development of procedural and parametric forms, geometrical tessellation, laser cutting, 3D printing and CNC milling.
