The project extends MARC FORNES / THEVERYMANY's research and development into achieving structural integrity through ultra-thin, self-supporting structures which find their strength in the double curvature of their form. In the whimsical yet durable universe the studio creates, curves win out over angles; branches, splits and recombinations make columns and beams irrelevant. A 'networked' surface rolls in, on and around itself, transforming into a space that obscures our preconceived notions of enclosure, entrance/exit, and threshold, while also providing its own support to stand up. The surface is ultra-thin: 6 mm aluminum. If an egg were scaled up to the same height Minima | Maxima, it would be much thicker.
此裝置作品以極薄、雙曲度的獨力支撐結構,體現作者馬克福恩斯多年來對結構完整性的研發。在其建築事務所創造的這個怪奇宇宙中,弧線比起角度佔有更重要的角色;分支、迸裂與重組,使樑與柱不再是必要的元素。網狀的表面包覆其身,將之轉變成一個模糊掉我們對於出入口既有認知的空間,同時提供自身佇立的力量。其表面為極薄的 6 毫米鋁片,比同樣高度的雞蛋還薄。
Towards the base of the structure, the rolling surface begins to softly corrugate, its zig-zag angles gently rising into a full pleat as they meet the ground platform. The visual threshold of this transition - from pleated base to smooth and doubly-curved, continuous surface - is subtle, yet its structural effect is significant in achieving the height of 43'.
The project is a multi-ply composite: three layers of flat stripes - white and white sandwiching pink - are constructed in tandem, supporting one another as they assume curvature and gain height. One layer never exists independently, but contributes to and benefits from the unified whole. The stripes of each layer move perpendicularly from one another, creating an anisotropic composite material (structural property of composite depends on direction) from an isotropic material, such as aluminum (properties of material are mostly the same in all directions).
結構底層呈鋸齒狀,其角度在平台上逐漸上升並轉變成完整的捲曲面。這種過渡造成的視覺界限雖然微妙,但此結構對於達成 43 英呎之高度的效果卻十分重要。
此作品是經由多重合成的綜合體;三層線條——白色及夾帶粉的白色相互串連,形成曲度與高度。結構層層相疊,並匯聚成統一的洞孔。每層線條透過垂直移動,由各向同性的合成材料(大多結構屬性在不同方向下仍一致,例如鋁),創造出各向異性的合成材料 (結構屬性因方向不同而有所改變)。
The system warrants comparison to fiber technology - such as carbon or glass fiber - yet is unique in that unlike fibers, each individual component does not need to be in tension (a straight line), and/or their processing does not require any mold or temporary scaffolding. Also such a composite system is mechanically bonded, allowing for recomposition and corrections during construction.
此系統值得與纖維科技,例如碳或玻璃纖維進行比較,而每個組件不需在同一直線上,過程也不需要任何模型或暫時性的鷹架。此外,此合成系統與機械結合,可在建造過程中進行重組與修正。
