Yi-Chin Lee Computational Design Laboratory Carnegie Mellon University U.S.A. yichinle@andrew.cmu.edu Algotecton (from algorithm and tecton—carpentry, articulation) is a site-specific generative sculpture inspired by the Weaire-Phelan structure, a mathematical construct that approximates the geometry of foam. It comprises 16 interlocking polyhedra fabricated using advanced parametric modeling and computer numerical control (CNC) technologies. Evocative of different natural formations—a crystalline structure, a kelp forest, a molecular compound—the sculpture responds to Kendall Buster’s Parabiosis II piece at the street level of the Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. Algotecton harnesses state-of-theart computational design and fabrication techniques to give material expression to mathematical concepts, invite discovery and playfully transform people’s perception of space and form.

调解公共空间：超越框架美术馆的艺术与技术

Yi-Chin Lee Computational Design Laboratory Carnegie Mellon University USA yichinle@andrew.cmu.edu Algotecton（来自算法和构造——木工，关节）是一个特定地点的生成雕塑，灵感来自 Weaire-Phelan 结构，这是一种数学结构，近似于泡沫的几何形状。它包括使用先进的参数化建模和计算机数控 (CNC) 技术制造的 16 个互锁多面体。令人联想到不同的自然形态——水晶结构、海藻森林、分子化合物——这座雕塑回应了肯德尔·巴斯特 (Kendall Buster) 在华盛顿会议中心街道层面的 Parabiosis II 作品，DC Algotecton 利用最先进的计算设计和为数学概念赋予材料表达的制造技术，
