Difference from Avant-garde Futurism: Arrays are Not Curved Surfaces

A space composed of many components rather than a single continuous curved surface. Avant-garde futurism seeks seamless continuous surfaces where the manufacturing method is invisible; here, on the contrary: the entire form is arranged from hundreds of individual wooden ribs or metal sheets, with clear gaps between each piece that can be counted, and their cutting and assembly are visible. The curved surface is approximated by discrete units. Avoid: making the surface a seamless continuous curved surface, hiding the gaps between components, using whole sheets of paneling, making the manufacturing method invisible.

一個由許多構件組成而非一整片曲面的空間。前衛未來主義追求無縫的連續表面,看不出製造方式;這裡相反:整個形體是由數百片獨立的木肋或金屬片排列出來的,每一片之間有清楚的縫隙,可以數得出來,也看得到它們是被切割與組裝的。曲面是由離散的單元逼近出來的。避免:把表面做成無縫的連續曲面、隱藏構件之間的縫隙、使用整片的板材包覆、讓製造的方式看不出來。
