AIRLAB has completed an angular, mesh-covered pavilion at Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay, which has a structure made with 3D-printed stainless steel nodes.
Built using more than 200 rods connected by 54 3D-printed steel nodes the temporary pavilion was created by the Architectural Intelligence Research Lab (AIRLAB), based at the Singapore University of Technology and Design.
Called AIRMESH, it is the product of five years of researching and was assembled in two days using only hex keys.
AIRLAB已在新加坡濱海灣花園完成了一個傾斜的，網狀覆蓋的涼亭，該涼亭的結構由3D打印的不銹鋼節點製成。
臨時展館由200多個桿連接而成，這些桿通過54個3D打印的鋼節點相連，由新加坡科技設計大學的建築智能研究實驗室（AIRLAB）創建。
它被稱為AIRMESH，是經過5年研究的產品，僅使用六角扳手即可在兩天內組裝完成。
Designed to remain on its site for three years, the pavilion has been oriented to frame four key views for visitors to the Grant Associates and Wilkinson Eyre Architects-designed park: the nearby Dragonfly River, the SG50 Dome, the garden’s entrance path and the rooftop of the Moshe Safdie-designed Marina Bay Sands Hotel.
Drawings its shape from what AIRLAB describes as a “three-dimensional complex neural network,” the pavilion’s tetrahedral design means it is able to withstand loads of 16 times its 700 kilogram weight despite its delicate appearance.
展館設計為在其場地上保留三年，旨在為參觀格蘭特聯合會和威爾金森·艾爾建築師設計的公園的遊客提供四個主要景觀：附近的蜻蜓河，SG50圓頂，花園的入口路徑和屋頂 由Moshe Safdie設計的濱海灣金沙酒店。
展館採用AIRLAB描述為“三維複雜神經網絡”的形狀，該展館的四面體設計意味著儘管外觀精美，但仍能夠承受700公斤重量的16倍的載荷。
“As 3D printing technologies are maturing to match the mechanical, scale and speed requirements of construction, systematic research regarding applications and technologies becomes essential,” said the studio.
“A new kind of intricate aesthetics is obtained from using a tetrahedral typology in the structure that spreads the heavy loads into extremely slender elements.”
該工作室說：“隨著3D打印技術日趨成熟以適應建築的機械，規模和速度要求，有關應用和技術的系統研究變得至關重要。”
“通過在結構中使用四面體類型將重載散佈到極其細長的元素中，獲得了一種新型的複雜美學。”
Two layers of plastic mesh cover the pavilion’s exteriors, shading the metal walkway inside while also allowing purple LED lights filled to either side of this path to illuminate the structure like a lantern at night.
亭子的外部覆蓋了兩層塑料網，使內部的金屬人行道陰影，同時還允許紫色LED燈填充到該路徑的兩側，以在夜間照亮燈籠。
“Its visual lightness and thin materiality contributes to completely dematerialising the whole pavilion and creates the essential contrast to frame the four selected views while letting breeze and filtered sunlight go through,” explained the studio.
該工作室解釋說：“它的視覺亮度和稀薄的材質有助於使整個展館完全非物質化，並形成基本的對比，以構圖四個選定的視圖，同時讓微風和過濾的陽光通過。”
While AIRMESH is a temporary experiment, the research group hopes that many of the techniques that its structure demonstrates can be applied to future projects.
“Over five years, we have developed a system whereby and form can be conceptualised, fabricated and assembled by means of computer code created in our lab,” said AIRLAB’s lead researcher Anna Toh Hui Ping.
“It unlocks immense possibilities for future architectural designs like transportation hubs, large span roofs and even skyscrapers.”
儘管AIRMESH是一個臨時實驗，但研究小組希望其結構演示的許多技術都可以應用於未來的項目。
AIRLAB的首席研究員Anna Toh Hui Ping說：“五年來，我們已經開發了一種系統，可以通過在實驗室中創建的計算機代碼來對概念和形式進行概念化，裝配和組裝。”
“它為未來的建築設計（如交通樞紐，大跨度的屋頂甚至是摩天大樓）釋放了巨大的可能性。”
Many designers and architects use 3D printing to both experiment with new materials and reimagine the potential for traditional ones.
In Rio Grande, Rael San Fratello 3D printed a series of earth structures, and in China AZL Architects built a garden pavilion using 3D-printed blocks of translucent plastic.
許多設計師和建築師都使用3D打印來嘗試新材料並重新想像傳統材料的潛力。
在里奧格蘭德（Rio Grande），雷爾·聖弗拉特洛（Rael San Fratello）3D打印了一系列泥土結構，在中國，AZL Architects使用3D打印的半透明塑料塊建造了一個花園涼亭。
