对建筑设计来说,模型的作用不仅仅是提供形式的解决方案,也不应停留在对现象简单描述的层面。计算文化的潜力不仅限于提供复杂的搜索资源或是表现性的美学奇观这些安全的应用,模型应是生成性的,是一个设计探索的过程。模型的底层架构,在于其对观测内容科学精准的捕捉,以及抽象与简化。这种抽象能力可以激发设计探索中新的可能性,同时计算模型的灵活性也使它具有传统模型所不具有的优势。文章以基于Processing开发环境和粒子弹簧库的数字悬链线模型为例,阐述了生成性的模型在设计探索中的作用以及较传统模型的优势。同时也以此展开,反思了建筑学对模型的应用方式,其中涉及到模型的科学性与设计作者性的关系,模型与设计中的隐喻以及与社会、人类复杂活动的关系,等等。计算模型可以帮助我们重新思考设计方法,更广泛地发掘对潜能、缺陷和建筑需求的理解。这是当前设计师所要面临的挑战。
For architectural design, the role of the model is not merely to provide a formal solution nor to simply describe the phenomenon. The potential of computational culture is not limited to the application of these safe applications of providing complex search resources or expressive aesthetic wonders. Models should be generative and a process of design exploration. The underlying structure of the model lies in its scientific capture of the content of observations, as well as abstraction and simplification. This abstraction stimulates new possibilities in design exploration, and the flexibility of calculating models gives it the advantages that traditional models do not have. Taking digital catenary model based on Processing development environment and particle spring library as an example, the article expounds the function of generative model in design and exploration and the advantage of traditional model. At the same time, it starts with the reflection on the application of architecture to the model, which involves the relationship between the model’s science and the author’s design, the metaphors in the model and the design, the relationship with the complex social and human activities, and so on. Computational models can help us rethink design approaches and discover broader understanding of potential, defects and building needs. This is the current designer’s challenge.
