This work seeks to define original ways of creating architectonic forms using kinesiology studies. A series of methodologies are devised to record subjects in motion, with analogue and digital modelling techniques rigorously used independently and in combination to transpose these into sculptural figures with differing levels of formal fidelity and dimensional precision. Surface structures, and in particular thin shells, are found to have great potential for moving from abstract figures to structural forms. Such structures are traditionally problematic in terms of ‘constructional energy’, which has limited their usefulness and application. In response, the ‘hanging cloth reversed’ modelling technique devised by Heinz Isler is investigated to capitalise on the ambiguity between large-scale models and small structures. A construction method is devised that accords with the principles of structural art which, significantly, suggests that (small-span) shell structures could be liberated from the strictures of formwork to create economic, efficient and elegant minimal structures.

这项工作旨在定义使用运动机能学研究创建建筑形式的原始方法。设计了一系列方法来记录运动中的对象，严格独立使用模拟和数字建模技术，并将其转换为具有不同形式保真度和尺寸精度水平的雕塑人物。表面结构，特别是薄壳，被发现具有从抽象图形转变为结构形式的巨大潜力。这种结构在“建筑能量”方面传统上存在问题，这限制了它们的实用性和应用。作为回应，研究了 Heinz Isler 设计的“挂布反转”建模技术，以利用大型模型和小型结构之间的歧义。
