Title
Characteristics of Digital Tectonics of Free-form Structures designed through Digital Process
류호창 Lyu Ho-chang
Abstract
Most researches related to digital architectures have been more focused on formal and stylistic concerns than on practical constructions mainly because of the very limited number of realized construction. But demands for researches linking digital technology and architectural production are more required than before in accordance with advancing digital technology and increasing realization. Thus, study was focused to analyze characteristics of digital tectonics of free-form structures designed through digital processes. The results of the study are as follows; 1) Types of digital fabrications applied to constructing free-form structures - composed of surface-covering members and structural members - are basically accomplished with digital pre-fabrication methods rather than on-site constructions. 2) Lisas Iwamoto`s five types of digital fabrications - sectioning, tessellating, folding, contouring, and forming - can be divided into two groups such as an assembling and a monocoque types, based on degree of requirement of connecting procedure on site. 3) `Sectioning` and `folding` have more structural strength while `contouring` and `forming` are more expressive. Those five types of fabrications can be used solely on its own or in any multiple combinations.
