| With the advent of the new digital era, a new architectural paradigm， based oncomputer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM), is promoting boththe traditional construction of architectural form and the presentation techniques of substanceto make unceasing breakthrough, forward to the diversified and polymerized architecturalintegrated design system, focusing on “property/performanceâ€.To a large extent,"digitalmaterial", relying on digital technology, has highly reconciled the formality and materiality.Based on the visually of physical properties of substance, the paper studied on a self-feedbackset of design methods, or building system, referring to evolutionary arithmetic, parametrictechnique, bionic engineering and also digitally-controlled manufacturing method. And thespecific system is trying to make multiple assessments on engineering materials in theperspective of buildings’ geometrical morphology, which may possibly serve as thefoundation of further integrated manufacturing system of engineering materials in both theoryand practice.The article is mainly elaborated from two clues: one is relying on the “performance†indigital technology to integrate the design system, which means forms, structure and materialare not isolated subsystems, but an interrelated and comprehensive Polymorphic form. Thesystem responds to different environmental factors and dynamic factors, as well as theadvanced digital logic. The other is investigating the possibility of material integral design inthe transformation of the substance and energy in the perspective of the material CollectiveBehavior, and analyzing the formation mechanism and express logic of the material design,from computing design and digital construction. The material system is continuously splitting,and the era of new material is driving a significant revolution in architectural design. Fromtraditional materials to composite materials, the construction of mechanical components tochemical compounds, or from the integration of elements to a functional reorganization, theoperation of material integration becomes a very important link as a characteristic of formgeneration, to make the geometric behavior, environmental response and structuralperformance key elements of coordinated design, which is far more than the pure formgeneration.With the constant differentiation of material system, a major revolution in the field ofarchitectural design is to occur in the era of new materials. In the trend, composite hasreplaced the tradition materials, so did chemical synthetics do to the physically constituted ones, and also work of sorting out elements has developed into recombination of function. Asa crucial link, operation of material integration, a peculiarity of morphogenesis, has made thegeometric behavior, environmental response and structural property become the key parts inthe coordination design, even far more beyond the pure morphogenesis. |
