| Abstract |
This paper focuses on various methods of fabricating a curved surface of free form architecture and introduces a new approach of classifying the types of the fabrications and utilizing the features of those types. Double curved surface fabrications are classified under 3 categories; dividing type, developing type and pattern type. The matrix of two categories is then, applied to case studies to show clearly the effect and the result of utilizing each fabrication category combination in real building construction, which helps designers find out relevant construction method for the curved surface created. The features of fabrication types are analyzed in this paper regarding model surface by computational programs in order to reveal the factors such as reasonable cost, aesthetic quality and surface continuity. This result will help designers understand better their free form design and its fabrication as well as re-interpret and optimize them. |
