Generating One Kind Of The Palace Style Structural Carpentry System Based On Algorithmic Language

The adoption of Complex Systems theory in architecture design brings forth to the parametrical design;the adoption of parametrical design in traditional architecture design brings forth to this paper.Combining theory study and case study,some concept concerning this research has been introduced and therefore leads to the author’s main idea.On the opportunity of restoring the historical town,by the study of connection among each element of structural carpentry system in the book of Ying Zao Fa Shi(the Building Regulations of Song Dynasty),a Grasshopper platform has been set up to parameterize this connection and eventually produce the specific model with specific inputting parameter.Thereafter to put forward,parametric model helps to the manipulation of specific form for designers,supporting the future restoration of the Song dynasty official architecture.The deduction of connection between each component through computer program externalizes the abstract and difficult concepts according to the building regulations of Song Dynasty,and even weakens the share of “experience” in traditional construction process,liberating the architect from repetitive works.By the appliance of this GH program,different composition of parameters rapidly leads to the different type of palace style structural carpentry model,which gives choice to the designer for best solution.Choose parameters,control the general order and get the result,is where architect should put more focus.
