Resourceful Fallibility
The research of wood milling fabrication and architectural application

发现制造易误性的设计潜力
木材数控雕刻研究与建筑运用

这个项目旨在探索实木的材料特性与呈现和数控雕刻之间的关系。由于钻头的物理特性，在数控机床上的实木雕刻过程伴随着大量的钻头留下的纹路与木屑。通常这些伴随着制作过程而产生的副产物，由于其随即性和控制难度而难以作为设计元素。所以，在这个项目中，我们试图通过数控的方法结合对雕刻几何形的选择来控制这些副产物，并注入设计意义。

This project explores the relationship between material properties of solid wood and CNC milling technology. In the material study, by investigating the physical effects of drilling in wood, including traces and residue bi-products, a design system is proposed to covert these uncontrollable ‘misfits’into designable elements within their size and distribution.

作为一种建筑材料，我们将其运用于传统古建筑结构的加建当中。作为数字建构的探索，这个项目主要是基于材料状态和制作过程呈现的建筑设计，而非传统意义的古建筑改建。运用于特定的场所，该建构的目的主要包括通过运用这种制作材料来重建屋顶结构从而辅助原本受雨水冲刷严重的区域的排水，通过被数控雕刻的几何形与钻头留下的纹路的引导，将雨水引导至下方大量分布着木屑区域来有助于植物的生长，以及增加新的空间与流线，并作为新的装饰与传统装饰相呼应。

Applying these material system to the extension proposal of the Hanging Temple, in Shanxi province, China which consist of the delicate wooden structures, we mainly aim to achieve three architectural purposes. First,to reconstruct the roof structure to regulate the motion of water flow from water damage due to rain. Second, to guild rain water to specific locations of the temple, where new hydroponic vertical gardens are located, andthird, to battle the increased wear of the temple due to tourism, provide new interior spacesand a new circulation pathwith the blossom of milledornaments.

与传统榫卯结构的相互咬合，我们采用单元化的结合方式来进行建造，这保证了设计形式的形态灵活性和敏感性。单元化的数控预制件旨在减少在大尺度物件的雕刻过程中的材料浪费，同时结合场地的特殊条件，在可建造性与定制之间取得平衡。

For the constructing and assembling, the modular system of wooden components ensure the morphologic flexibility and aggregated dexterity for design form. Also interlocked with traditional Chinese mortise-and-tenon joints, the modular system aims to challenge the typically high material wastage of milling, as well as the relationship between buildability and mass customization.

在这个项目中，我们相信木材的数字建构将调和和弥补从手工艺时代到数字时代的巨大跨越。作为新世纪的设计师，我们有必要重新审视数字建构技术（通常缺乏物质性）和手工艺（对时间和人力成本的更高需求）之间的关系。所以，我们视传统木材的数字建构是一种对传统手工艺的传承，并用更加精确理性和低成本的方式呈现出来。

From this project, we believe the wooden fabrication plays a significant role in digital fabricating domain to mediatethe great leap from crafting todigital age. Our role as designers in the twenty-first century is to renegotiate the relationship between the technology of digital fabrication (that struggles with predictability and a lack of materiality) and the notions of craftsmanship (which are to time consuming and exclusive).Therefore, we treat the traditional wood material as a guidance to give true spiritof craftsmanship to the digital fabrication, namely bespoken manufacturing butwith profound precision and less cost consuming.
