This paper outlines an analysis of Utzon’s process of ideating vault through the lens of shape grammar, from investigating the eureka moment of the spherical schema for the Sydney Opera House to interpreting vault schema generation in other, later projects. The results show that most of Utzon’s vault’s schemas can be generated with only a few rule schemas, and that the generated schema can produce various parts in the designs. This interpretative study can help to understand not only how an architect develops schemas to solve various problems within a project but also how principles from an earlier schema can be reused to formulate vault schema for different contexts.

关于 Utzon 的 Vaults 的语法注释

本文概述了 Utzon 通过形状语法的视角构思拱顶的过程，从调查悉尼歌剧院球形模式的尤里卡时刻到在其他后期项目中解释拱顶模式的生成。结果表明，Utzon 的大部分 Vault 模式都可以仅用少数规则模式生成，并且生成的模式可以生成设计中的各个部分。这种解释性研究不仅可以帮助理解架构师如何开发模式来解决项目中的各种问题，还可以帮助理解如何重用早期模式中的原则来为不同的上下文制定金库模式。
