1、www.XiYuS锡育软件As an architect,I often ask myself,what is the origin of theforms that we design?作为一个建筑师,我经常扣心自问,我们设计出来的造型的来源是什么？00:12What kind of forms could we design if we wouldnt work withreferences anymore?如果不去参考别人的作品 那么我们会设计出怎样的造型呢？00:18If we had no bias,if we had no preconceptions,what kind offo

2、rms could we design if we could free ourselves from ourexperience?如果我们没有偏好,没有先入之见,我们又会设计出怎样的造型呢？如果我们将自己从 积累的经验中解锢出来呢？00:23If we could free ourselves from our education?如果我们能挣脱教育的束缚呢？00:33What would these unseen forms look like?这些前所未有的造型会是什么样子的？00:38Would they surprise us?Would they intrigue us?会让我们眼

3、前一亮吗？会激起我们的兴趣吗？00:41Would they delight us?会让我们感到愉悦吗？00:44If so,then how can we go about creating something that istruly new?如果是这样的话,我们要怎样去创造真正新颖的东西呢？00:47I propose we look to nature.我建议在大自然中找答案00:51Nature has been called the greatest architect of forms.大自然一向被称为是伟大的造型建筑师00:53And Im not saying that we

4、 should copy nature,Im notsaying we should mimic biology,instead I propose that wecan borrow natures processes.我意思不是去仿造大自然 也不是去模仿生物 而是借鉴大自然的方法00:57references:n.图情参考文献;参照;推荐信(reference的复数)/v.附以供参考;把引作参考(reference的三单形式)preconceptions:n.偏见(preconception的复数);先入之见;先前概念 unseen:adj.看不见的,未看见的;未经预习的/n.(事前未看过

6、f one cell into two cells.大自然的主要造物方法,所谓的形态建成 就是一个细胞分裂成两个01:11And these cells can either be identical,or they can bedistinct from each other through asymmetric cell division.这些细胞或者形态相同 或者通过不对称细胞分裂而彼此形态各异01:19If we abstract this process,and simplify it as much aspossible,then we could start with a sin

7、gle sheet of paper,onesurface,and we could make a fold and divide the surface intotwo surfaces.如果我们提取这个过程,并将它尽可能地简化 那么我们可以从一张纸开始入手 在一个面上我们对折使它形成两个面01:25Were free to choose where we make the fold.我们可以随意选择在哪对折01:37And by doing so,we can differentiate the surfaces.这样做后,我们就能制作不同的面01:39Through this very

8、simple process,we can create anastounding variety of forms.通过这一简单的过程,我们就能创造出无数种变化的造型01:44Now,we can take this form and use the same process togenerate three-dimensional structures,but rather thanfolding things by hand,well bring the structure into thecomputer,and code it as an algorithm.现在,我们用这种形式,用

9、相同的过程 来生成一个三维的结构 但不再是手工折叠 我们就在电脑里操作然后用运算法则写下代码01:49identical:adj.同一的；完全相同的/n.完全相同的事物 distinct from:vt.与不同 asymmetric:adj.不对称的;非对称的surfaces:n.表面;曲面(surface的复数)/v.使成平面(surface的第三人称单数形式)differentiate:vi.区分,区别/vt.区分,区别astounding:adj.令人震惊的;令人惊骇的 three-dimensional:adj.三维的;立体的;真实的 folding:adj.可折叠的And in do

10、ing so,we can suddenly fold anything.这样做的话,我们就能瞬间对折任何东西了02:02We can fold a million times faster,we can fold in hundredsand hundreds of variations.我们能将速度提升到一百万倍 我们能折出成千上万种变化02:05And as were seeking to make something three-dimensional,we start not with a single surface,but with a volume.正因为我们试图做出一些三维的

11、东西出来 我们没有从单一的平面入手,而是转向立方体02:10A simple volume,the cube.一个简单的立方体-正方形02:16If we take its surfaces and fold them again and again andagain and again,then after 16 iterations,16 steps,we end upwith 400,000 surfaces and a shape that looks,for instance,like this.如果我们将它的各平面对折 并且不断地对折 反复进行16次,16个步骤后,我们得到了400

12、,000个面,和一个这样的形状 比如说,像这样。02:17TED演讲者：Michael Hansmeyer|Michael Hansmeyer演讲标题：Michael Hansmeyer:Building unimaginable shapes|塑造不可思议内容概要：Michael Hansmeyer is an architect and programmer who explores the use ofalgorithms and computation to generate architectural form.受到了细胞分裂的启发，Michael Hansmeyer写下了拥有惊人艳

13、丽的造型和无数刻面的设计运算法则。没人能将他们手绘出来，但他们确是可以被做出来-他们也可以向常规的建筑形态掀起思想狂潮。And if we change where we make the folds,if we change thefolding ratio,then this cube turns into this one.如果我们改变一下对折的地方 如果我们改变下对折的比率 那么这个立方体就会变成这样02:30We can change the folding ratio again to produce this shape,or this shape.我们还能通过调节对折比率做出这

14、种造型,或这种02:38So we exert control over the form by specifying the positionof where were making the fold,but essentially yourelooking at a folded cube.所以我们能通过指定对折的位置 从而对造型进行控制 但事实上你们看到的只是一个经过折叠的立方体02:44variations:n.变奏曲,变更;生物变种(variation的复数形式)again and again:adv.再三地,反复地 folds:n.皱褶;折痕(fold的复数形式)/vt.折叠;包(

16、t the form.我们就能开始进行造型了03:00And because were doing the folding on the computer,weare completely free of any physical constraints.由于这些对折是在电脑上进行的 所以我们完全不收任何物理禁锢03:02So that means that surfaces can intersect themselves,theycan become impossibly small.这也意味着这些面能相互交叉 也能变得极其的微小03:09We can make folds that we

17、 otherwise could not make.我们能摆脱常规进行折叠03:13Surfaces can become porous.表面可以变得多孔03:17They can stretch.They can tear.可以延伸,也可以撕扯03:19And all of this expounds the scope of forms that we canproduce.所有的这一切都证明了我们造型的范围03:22But in each case,I didnt design the form.但在每个实例中,我并没对造型进行设计。03:26I designed the process

18、 that generated the form.我只是设计了创造造型的过程03:29ratios:n.比率(ratio的复数);比例/v.以比率表示;按比例放大或缩小(ratio的第三人称单数)sculpt:vt.造型;雕刻/vi.造型;雕刻/n.雕刻品 free of:adj.无的;摆脱的;在外面 constraints:n.数约束;限制;约束条件(constraint的复数形式)intersect:vi.相交,交叉/vt.横断,横切;贯穿 impossibly:adv.不可能地;难以置信地;无法可想地 porous:adj.多孔渗水的;能渗透的;有气孔的 generated:adj.生成

19、的;发生的/v.(使)产生(generate的过去分词)In general,if we make a small change to the folding ratio,which is what youre seeing here,then the form changescorrespondingly.总之,哪怕我们对对折比例做出小小的调整 正如你目前所见到的 这个造型也会相应做出改变03:34But thats only half of the story-99.9 percent of the foldingratios produce not this,but this,the g

20、eometric equivalent ofnoise.但故事到这里只不过才进行了一半 99.9%的对折比例产生的不是这种形态,而是这种形态,在几何学上等同于噪音03:43The forms that I showed before were made actually throughvery long trial and error.那些我刚展示的造型 其实是经过了长时间的试验和挫折03:55A far more effective way to create forms,I have found,is touse information that is already contained

21、in forms.进行造型时,我发现了一种效率极高的方式 就是利用已经包含在造型里的信息03:59A very simple form such as this one actually contains a lot ofinformation that may not be visible to the human eye.在一个简单的造型里,比方这个 它就包含了很多我们肉眼看不到的信息04:06So,for instance,we can plot the length of the edges.所以,我们可以标绘出边缘的长度04:12White surfaces have long ed

22、ges,black ones have short ones.白色表面的边缘较长,黑色的则较短04:14We can plot the planarity of the surfaces,their curvature,how radial they are-all information that may not beinstantly visible to you,but that we can bring out,that wecan articulate,and that we can use to control the folding.我们能标绘出这些面的平面度和曲率 它们有多放射

23、状-所有的这些信息 不一定立马就能被你看到但我们能发现它,我们能将之描述出来 我们能运用这些信息来控制如何折叠04:18In general:总之,通常;一般而言 correspondingly:adv.相应地,相对地 geometric:adj.几何学的;数几何学图形的equivalent:adj.等价的,相等的;同意义的/n.等价物,相等物 curvature:n.弯曲,数曲率 radial:adj.半径的;放射状的;光线的;光线状的/n.射线,光线 bring out:出版,生产;使显示;说出 articulate:vt.清晰地发(音);明确有力地表达/vi.发音;清楚地讲话;用关节连接

24、起来/adj.发音清晰的;口才好的;有关节的So now Im not specifying a single ratio anymore to fold it,but instead Im establishing a rule,Im establishing a linkbetween a property of a surface and how that surface isfolded.所以我不再指定一个 单一的折叠率进行对折 相反,我确立了一个规则 我将一个面的属性和它怎样被折叠 给联系起来04:33And because Ive designed the process and

25、not the form,Ican run the process again and again and again to produce awhole family of forms.也正因为我设计的是方法而非造型 所以我能够一次又一次地使用这种方法 以此得到一个族系的造型04:45These forms look elaborate,but the process is a very minimalone.这些造型看起来很精细,但制作的方法却很简单05:05There is a simple input,its always a cube that I start with,and it

26、s a very simple operation-its making a fold,and一个简单的输入 我一直都从立方体着手 而且操作也简单-就对折 不断对折05:10and its a very simple operation-its making a fold,anddoing this over and over again.www.XiYuS锡育软件So lets bring this process to architecture.所以我们不妨将这个过程引入建筑学05:20How?And at what scale?怎么做？以什么准则？05:23I chose to desi

27、gn a column.我决定设计一根柱子05:24Columns are architectural archetypes.柱子是建筑的基模05:26Theyve been used throughout history to express idealsabout beauty,about technology.纵观历史,柱子被用来表达 美感,科技05:29establishing:v.建立;确立(establish的ing形式)elaborate:adj.精心制作的;详尽的;煞费苦心的/vt.精心制作;详细阐述;从简单成分合成(复杂有机物)/vi.详细描述;变复杂 minimal:adj

29、experimentation,these cylinders eventuallyevolved into this.通过大量的试验,这些圆柱体 最终进化成这个样子05:46And these columns,they have information at very manyscales.而且这些柱子蕴含信息的范围很广05:53We can begin to zoom into them.我们放大来看05:57The closer one gets,the more new features one discovers.你越靠近,就会越发现新特点06:00Some formations a

30、re almost at the threshold of humanvisibility.一些构造几乎就要超出人类的视觉范围06:03And unlike traditional architecture,its a single process thatcreates both the overall form and the microscopic surfacedetail.这不像传统的建筑学 它只需一个简单的方法就能同时获得 整体的造型和显微的表面细节06:07These forms are undrawable.这些造型是画不出来的06:17An architect whos dr

31、awing them with a pen and a paperwould probably take months,or it would take even a year todraw all the sections,all of the elevations,you can onlycreate something like this through an algorithm.建筑师如果想用笔和纸把他们画出来 可能要画上好几个月 想把各个部分,各个正面图都画出来 甚至得画上一年,你只能通过 运算法则得到这些东西06:20cylinders:n.汽缸;圆筒(cylinder的复数);数

33、 state ofwhat he is designing.大多数情况,建筑师都能在脑海里浮现自己所设计的 最终效果图06:36In this case,the process is deterministic.而在这种情况下,起决定作用的是那个过程06:41Theres no randomness involved at all,but its not entirelypredictable.毫无随意性的存在 也非完全可预见06:44Theres too many surfaces,theres too much detail,one cantsee the end state.有太多太多的

34、平面 有太多的细节,谁也看不到最终效果06:48So this leads to a new role for the architect.这也就赋予了建筑师新的角色06:53One needs a new method to explore all of the possibilitiesthat are out there.他们需要一种新方法去探索各种可能性 而它们就在那里06:57For one thing,one can design many variants of a form,inparallel,and one can cultivate them.一方面,建筑师可以设计出一个

35、造型的不同变体 同时,他又可以让它们发展出其他的形态07:02And to go back to the analogy with nature,one can begin tothink in terms of populations,one can talk aboutpermutations,about generations,about crossing andbreeding to come up with a design.当回到利用大自然进行类比时 建筑师可以参照种群进行思考 他们可以从种群的变换,世代 相交和繁衍中寻找创意07:07imaginable:adj.可能的;可想像的

38、till that wasnt the same as being我曾一度想跳进这个画面中 打个比方,我买了些红蓝3D眼镜 凑到屏幕前去看 依然得不到那种 漫步其中亲密接触的感觉07:29close to the screen,but still that wasnt the same as beingable to walk around and touch things.So there was only one possibility-to bring the column outof the computer.所以就只有一种做法 把它从电脑里带到现实中来07:42Theres been

39、 a lot of talk now about 3D printing.其实现在有很多3D印刷的理论07:47For me,or for my purpose at this moment,theres still toomuch of an unfavorable tradeoff between scale,on the onehand,and resolution and speed,on the other.但对我来说,或就我目前的想法而言,依旧是有太多在比例上不尽人意的权衡 一方面,是比例,另一方面,则是分辨率和速率07:50So instead,we decided to tak

40、e the column,and we decidedto build it as a layered model,made out of very many slices,thinly stacked over each other.所以,我们决定把柱子 以层级模式给做出来 以多切割,薄层叠的方式展现出来08:03so to say:可以这么说 unfavorable:adj.不宜的;令人不快的;不顺利的 tradeoff:n.权衡;折衷;(公平)交易(等于trade-off)onthe one hand:一方面 layered:adj.分层的;层状的/v.分层堆积;用压条法培植(layer

42、ide,the surfaces were continuing to fold themselves,to grow on the inside of the column,which was quite asurprising discovery.我当时感到很新颖 因为以前都是从外面去看 那些面还在不停地对折 而且是在柱子的内部对折 这个发现是个惊喜08:17From this shape,we calculated a cutting line,and then wegave this cutting line to a laser cutter to produce-andyoure

43、seeing a segment of it here-very many thin slices,individually cut,on top of each other.从这个模型中我们算出了一条切割线 然后我们用激光切割机进行切割 从而制造-你现在看到的是一个部分 有很多相互堆积而成的很薄的切面08:28And this is a photo now,its not a rendering,and the columnthat we ended up with after a lot of work,ended up lookingremarkably like the one tha

44、t we had designed in thecomputer.这是一张照片,不是绘制出来的 在付出很多心血后,我们得到了这个振奋人心的柱子 就如同我们在电脑中设计的一样08:45Almost all of the details,almost all of the surface intricacieswere preserved.几乎所以的细节 几乎所有的复杂平面都得以保留08:57But it was very labor intensive.但这相当地耗费劳动力09:05viewed:n.观察;视野;意见;风景/vt.观察;考虑;查看 Unbeknownst:adv.不知地/adj.
