图石设计：在金中都遗址旁，一组由二十万片金属叶编织而成的异形曲面装置，在阳光中起伏流转。它并非冷峻的工程结构，而是一场关于光、曲线与时间的空间对话。当数字逻辑遇见东方意象，这件装置为古都写下了一首由光构成的诗。
ToThree: Alongside the ancient remnants of Jin Zhongdu, an installation of over 200,000 custom-fabricated metal shingles forms a fluid, undulating surface that ripples with the shifting sunlight. More than a rigid structure, it is a spatial dialogue between light, curvature, and time—a visual poem where computational logic meets Eastern symbolism.
▽项目视频
项目位于北京金中都遗址旁，由朱育帆工作室构思设计，图石艺术工作室提供技术支持并完成落地实施。设计以“龙脉”为核心意象，回应古都八百年的历史积淀。装置由二十余万片铝叶板构成，并与石材地形、水景与植被共同生成连续的空间系统，使光影在曲面之间流转，将历史气韵转译为当代的空间体验。
本文从艺术与工程两个维度出发，解析该异形曲面装置在“参数化分块 + 模块化预制”策略下的结构逻辑与建造路径，呈现其在文化叙事、形式美学与数字化施工之间的平衡与创新。
Situated adjacent to the Jin Zhongdu archaeological site in Beijing, the project was conceived by Zhu Yufan Studio, with technical development and execution by Tothree Art Studio. Drawing on the concept of the “Dragon Vein”—a cultural lifeline—the design echoes Beijing’s 800-year urban evolution. Here, 200,000 perforated aluminum shingles interact with stone terrain and water features to create a seamless environmental system, translating historical resonance into a contemporary spatial experience.
This article explores the project from both artistic and engineering perspectives, detailing how a strategy of parametric decomposition and modular prefabrication balanced cultural narrative, visual aesthetic, and physical construction.
文化语境与历史根基
北京自金中都奠基以来，历经元、明、清三代的礼制营城与空间演变，形成了世界罕见的文化连续体。项目选址于金中都遗址旁，不只是对历史文脉的致敬，更是一种对古都空间精神的当代表达。
Cultural Foundation & Historical Context
Since its founding as Jin Zhongdu, Beijing has evolved through the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, forming one of the world’s most continuous urban systems. Designing beside these ruins was not merely an act of homage; it was an attempt to rearticulate Beijing’s spatial spirit through a modern architectural language.
北宋李诫在《营造法式》中提出“材分制”，以模数化方法建立构件比例与结构秩序。这种基于理性比例的建构方式，构成了中国建筑审美的重要基础，也奠定了“以形载意”的传统精神。本项目正是在这一理性传统之上，以数字化手段重新激活古法中的结构思维——通过参数化算法重构模数关系，使复杂曲面的生成与控制呈现出清晰而克制的秩序之美。
In his classic treatise Yingzao Fashi, Li Jie (Northern Song Dynasty) proposed the “Cai-fen” modular system to harmonize component proportions with structural integrity. This construction logic, rooted in rational proportion, is central to the Chinese aesthetic tradition where “form serves as the vessel for meaning.” This project builds on this rational heritage, using computational design to reactivate traditional structural thinking. Through parametric algorithms, we have reconstructed these modular relationships, allowing complex curved surfaces to be controlled with a beauty of clear and restrained order.
数学既是自然的语言，也是建筑形式的哲学根基。古人以几何逻辑推演屋架举折、翼角起翘，使建筑形态与天地秩序相应，体现“天人合一”的宇宙观。这种以几何构筑自然秩序的思想，在当代以算法的形式被重新唤醒。项目中曲面的生成逻辑，正是这一“几何—自然”观念的延续：从比例到参数，从人工度量到算法控制，延续的始终是同一种关于“形”与“理”的追求。
Mathematics has long served as the philosophical backbone of architecture. Just as ancient builders used geometric rules to define the graceful lift of an eave, this project utilizes algorithmic control to find the inherent logic within form.
安东尼·高迪曾言：“直线属于人类，曲线属于上帝。”随着计算技术的发展，曲线不再只是感性理想，而成为可被精确计算与建造的现实。本项目正诞生于这一背景之中——当数字逻辑与东方意象相遇，传统木作中关于模数、节律与曲线的经验，被转译为金属构成的自由曲面，既保留东方建筑的精神韵律，又呈现出现代工程的理性力量。
这组装置并非单纯的覆盖或围护结构，而是一种自然语言的空间表达。它如一条隐伏于大地的“龙脉”，在场地中舒展延续。每一片铝叶板，皆似来自时间深处的光之碎片，汇聚成古都记忆的当代显影。
As Gaudí famously noted: “The straight line belongs to man, the curved line to God.” Today, those curves are not just poetic—they are calculable. This installation interprets the cadence of traditional timber construction through prefabricated metal, blending Eastern aesthetics with modern engineering precision.
This installation is neither a mere shell nor a functional enclosure, but a spatial manifestation of a natural vernacular. It unfolds across the site like a hidden “Dragon Vein”—a cultural lifeline emerging from the earth. Each aluminum shingle acts as a fragment of light drawn from the depths of time, converging into a contemporary manifestation of the ancient capital’s memory.
艺术形式的生成与表达
二十万片预制铝叶板沿自由曲面有序排布，构建出起伏连绵的空间节奏，塑造出约3600平方米的庞大体量。随着日照角度的变化，金属表面不断生成连续而流动的反射序列，使装置成为一种可被感知的“光之载体”。
Artistic Form & Spatial Expression
200,000 prefabricated aluminum shingles are meticulously arrayed across a free-form surface, creating an undulating spatial rhythm across a vast 3,600-square-meter topography. As the sun traverses the sky, the metallic skin generates a fluid sequence of reflections, transforming the installation into a perceptible “carrier of light.”
瓦片的序列化布局，既源于曲面 UV 生成的理性逻辑，也是一种对传统“瓦作”工艺的当代表达。不同于传统屋面瓦片的线性重复，项目通过参数化分析与空间解构，使每一片瓦在三维曲面中获得独立而精准的位置关系，在继承秩序感的同时，突破平面与方向的限制。
The serialized layout of the shingles stems from the rational logic of UV mapping while serving as a contemporary reinterpretation of the traditional “Wa-zuo” (roof tiling) craft. Unlike the linear repetition of classical roofing, each shingle here is assigned a unique spatial coordinate through parametric decomposition. This approach preserves a sense of order while transcending the constraints of flat planes and unidirectional orientation.
▽切分模块的叶片按曲面UV走势排布
从远处望去，曲面如地形般起伏，光线在其间游走，层层展开，仿佛一首由光影谱写的空间乐章。曲线的流动成为文化延续的媒介，瓦片的节奏则化作历史的注脚，在当代语境中重新被阅读。
From a distance, the surface behaves like terrain. Light filters through it in layers, creating a visual symphony of shadow and shimmer. The curves act as a medium of cultural continuity, transforming modular rhythm into a historical footnote rewritten for a new era.
工程挑战与数字化策略
艺术理想的实现，必然要面对工程现实的约束。自由曲面带来的几何复杂性、施工精度要求与现场条件限制，构成了项目落地的核心挑战。项目在实施阶段综合考量造型复杂度、建造可行性与施工效率，提出“参数化分块 + 模块化预制”的整体策略，在复杂造型与工程理性之间取得平衡，确保设计意图能够被准确呈现。
Engineering Challenges & Digital Construction
The friction between artistic vision and material reality—particularly regarding non-standard surfaces and high-precision assembly—was bridged through a full-process strategy of parametric decomposition and modular prefabrication.

自由曲面与造型控制
异形曲面缺乏标准构件，受力体系复杂，传统施工方式难以应对。项目依托参数化工具，对曲面几何进行系统控制与结构优化。结合场地条件与造型变化，整体装置被划分为入口曲面、庭院楼梯曲面以及后场“金山金水”等区域，通过算法将连续曲面分解为逻辑清晰的几何单元，统一控制节点坐标与边界精度，使复杂曲面具备可量化、可管理的特性。
Free-Form Geometry Control
To manage the complexity of the non-standard components, parametric tools optimized the geometry into manageable zones: the Entry Canopy, the Courtyard Staircase, and the Landscape Areas (“Golden Mountain, Golden Water”). Algorithms decomposed these surfaces into clear geometric units with unified nodal coordinates, turning abstract complexity into measurable data.
“曲线律动”作为贯穿场地的第一视觉要素，在入口区域得到了最为集中的表达。
作为观者进入场地后的首个空间节点，入口不仅承担着功能意义上的通行角色，更是整体曲面叙事第一次被身体感知的起点。在净高近7米的入口景观空间中，一条象征场地语素的流水曲线率先映入视野，为整个装置的空间节奏与情绪基调定下序章。
The “rhythmic curve,” the primary visual motif of the site, finds its most concentrated expression at the entrance. As the first spatial threshold, the entrance is more than a functional gateway; it is where the curvilinear narrative is first physically experienced. Within the nearly 7-meter-high entry space, a sweeping curve symbolizing the “flow” of the site sets the spatial tempo and emotional tone for the entire installation.
入口瀑布采用与庭院流水一致的石材体系，通过同色石材分块切割、雕刻出连续的曲面形态。在 Rhino 中对三维曲面进行精细分割与编号，形成近400块可加工的曲面单元，并充分利用工厂流水线完成机械化加工。
现场通过拼接、打磨与填缝等工序，使立面趋于自然完整；顶部则与预制瓦片吊装单元精准衔接，并在接缝处嵌入预埋出水口，完成入口瀑布这一关键节点的最终闭合。
The entry waterfall utilizes the same stone system as the courtyard, with units meticulously carved to form a continuous, undulating surface. Using Rhino for precise segmentation, the surface was divided into nearly 400 unique units, each fabricated via automated production lines.
On-site, these units were assembled, polished, and grouted to achieve a monolithic appearance. At the summit, the stone integrates perfectly with the prefabricated metal shingles, where concealed water outlets are embedded to complete the node’s functional and aesthetic closure.
巨型尺度与模块化预制
整个曲面系统展开面积约3600平方米，如此巨型的一体化结构，对整体顺滑度与精度提出极高要求。金属叶片通过平头铆钉插接固定于穿孔网板之上，所有构件均在工厂完成加工与表面处理。横纵正交的结构网格形成1m×3m的“造型龙骨”，在控制曲面走势的同时优化制造成本与施工周期；局部曲率变化较大的区域，网格缩小为1m×1m，以提升细部精度。
Massive scale and modular prefabrication
Covering an expansive area of 3,600 m^2, the integrated curved system demanded extreme surface smoothness and structural precision. The metal shingles are secured to perforated panels via flush-head rivets, with all components fabricated and finished in-factory. An orthogonal structural grid of 1m × 3m forms the “sculptural backbone,” guiding the surface trajectory while optimizing costs and schedules. In areas of high curvature, the grid is refined to 1m × 1m to heighten geometric fidelity.
▽网格切分龙骨及工厂拼接
模块尺寸在深化设计阶段即统筹考虑运输、吊装与现场安装条件。参数化模型同步生成构件编号与加工图纸，使深化设计、制造与安装形成连续闭环，实现从数字模型到实体建构的无缝衔接。
Module dimensions were calibrated during the design development (DD) phase to account for logistics, lifting, and assembly constraints. The parametric model simultaneously generated unique IDs and fabrication drawings for every component, ensuring a closed-loop workflow from the digital twin to the physical construct.
入口处的电动移门亦被纳入整体曲面逻辑之中，成为装置语言在功能构件上的一次延展。金属曲线在门扇表面连续展开，在不同时段的光线映衬下若隐若现。大门高近6米、重约3吨，在电力控制系统的驱动下缓缓开启，原本静止的金属波纹随人的到来产生动态回应，使通行这一日常行为本身，也成为空间叙事的一部分。
The entrance features a motorized kinetic gate that follows the same surface logic. Rising nearly 6 meters and weighing 3 tons, the gate’s metal curves shift subtly with the light as it opens, turning a functional movement into a ceremonial spatial narrative.
▽施工约束与动态调整
▽扫描复尺与模型对比
在实际施工过程中，景观挡土墙、建筑墙面与造型模块之间的界面冲突频繁出现。团队通过3D扫描技术进行现场复尺，将实测数据实时反馈至模型中，动态校正构件尺寸与安装路径，形成以数据为核心的“数字工地”工作模式。跨专业协同不断调整施工顺序与节点做法，确保不同系统之间的精准衔接。
During the construction phase, interface conflicts frequently occurred between the landscape retaining walls, architectural facades, and the sculptural modules. The team utilized 3D laser scanning for as-built verification, feeding real-time field data back into the digital model to dynamically calibrate component dimensions and installation paths. This established a data-centric “Digital Twin Construction” workflow. Through intensive cross-disciplinary coordination, construction sequences and joint detailing were continuously refined to ensure the seamless integration of divergent systems.
当模型与现场通过数据形成闭环，曲线逻辑也开始从数字层面回到人的行走尺度之中。
通向下沉庭院的楼梯顺应整体流线走势展开，层叠的金属瓦片沿着“流水”的方向向下延伸，仿佛受到无数条隐形规线的牵引。石材曲线肌理拼接成流水的轨道，使原本无形的水流获得真实而可触的物理质感。流动的金属片在下行趋势中自然插接至石材两侧缝隙，仿佛托举起整片流水。金属、石材与水这三种属性迥异的材料，在同一动势中被整合进连续的环境体验之中。
As the digital model and the physical site converge through data, the logic of the curve transitions from the algorithmic realm back to the human scale of movement.
The staircase leading to the sunken courtyard follows the overall flow; cascading metal shingles descend along the path of “flowing water,” as if guided by invisible vector lines. The curved textures of the stonework form a track for the water, lending a tangible, tactile quality to the ephemeral element of flow. As they descend, the fluid metal shingles interlock naturally into the crevices of the stone, appearing to “cradle” the stream. Here, three distinct materials—metal, stone, and water—are integrated into a seamless environmental experience.
在下沉庭院环抱之处，一处开口伴随上行台阶展开，一道嵌于金属构件中的小型瀑布缓缓流动。 异形预制单元与石材瀑布之间的精准定位成为安装中的关键难点。 施工中先行吊装瀑布，再结合现场3D扫描数据与 Rhino 模型进行比对，逐步校正预制单元的摆放位置。 在拼接过程中，金属曲面边缘不断拟合瀑布石材的外轮廓，使不同材质在齐平或插接的细部处理下自然融合。 这种对界面的精细控制，既是设计目标，也是匠人精神的体现。
Within the embrace of the sunken courtyard, a small waterfall is embedded within the metal framework. The precise alignment between the non-standard prefabricated units and the stone waterfall was a critical technical challenge. The team first installed the waterfall structure, then utilized 3D laser scanning to compare the as-built conditions with the Rhino model, iteratively calibrating the position of the metal modules. Through this process, the edges of the metal surfaces were sculpted to fit the stone’s contours, achieving a flush or interlocked finish where divergent materials converge seamlessly. This meticulous control over the material interface is both a primary design objective and a testament to the spirit of craftsmanship.
艺术与工程的合奏
每一片瓦片如同光的音符，在工厂中被精准谱写，并在现场装配中逐渐形成整体节奏。 数字逻辑与手工技艺在施工阶段相互交织，使复杂异形曲面在物质世界中呈现出诗性的显影。 参数化分块与模块化预制不仅实现了复杂造型的精确控制，也保障了施工效率与可行性，构建起“设计—工厂—现场”的一体化流程。
这套策略不仅回应了自由曲面、巨型尺度与施工约束所带来的技术挑战，也彰显了数字化方法在艺术理想与物理落地之间所起到的桥梁作用，使设计的诗意表达与工程的理性精度得以并行共生。
Where Art & Engineering Converge
Each shingle acts as a musical note of light, precisely “composed” within the factory and orchestrated into a collective rhythm during on-site assembly. At the construction stage, digital logic and artisanal craftsmanship intertwine, allowing complex, non-standard geometries to manifest as a poetic presence in the physical world. This strategy of parametric tessellation and modular prefabrication ensures both the precise control of form and the efficiency of execution, establishing an integrated “Design-Fabrication-Assembly” workflow.
This strategy not only addresses the technical challenges posed by free-form geometries, massive scales, and construction constraints, but also highlights the role of digital methodology as a bridge between artistic vision and material realization. It enables a synergetic coexistence where poetic design expression and rational engineering precision reinforce one another.
项目完成后，装置呈现出跨越学科的综合张力：在艺术层面，曲线与光影共同塑造出可感知的诗性空间；在工程层面，参数化与模块化策略确保了结构精度与建造效率；在文化层面，古都的气韵在金属瓦片的序列中被重新激活，使历史得以在当代语境中延续。
Upon completion, the installation exudes a multi-disciplinary tension: artistically, the interplay of curves and light sculpts a perceptible, poetic space; engineerically, parametric and modular strategies guarantee structural precision; and culturally, the spirit of the ancient capital is reactivated through the sequence of metal shingles.
这是一场跨越时间与媒介的合奏——古人与今人的对话，自然与数字的融合，艺术与工程的共鸣，共同构成这座装置的精神之声。 观者驻足其下，不仅感受结构与空间的力量，更能体察文化、光影与时间交织而成的脉动。
This is an intertemporal ensemble—a dialogue between ancestors and contemporaries, a fusion of the natural and the digital, and a resonance between art and engineering.
