Lamination: Stacking Planes to Create Volume

A parametric volume composed of horizontal layers. A reception desk or display stand is built from dozens of horizontal plates stacked from bottom to top, each with a slightly different contour, thus presenting continuous contour line steps on the side; from a distance, it appears as a smooth curved volume, while up close it is a stack of layers. The cross-sections of all plates are exposed. Avoid: sanding the steps between layers into a smooth curved surface, covering the sides with cladding material, having inconsistent layer thicknesses, or using overly thick plates that make the steps too prominent.

一個由水平疊層構成的參數化量體。一座接待櫃檯或展示台是由數十片水平的板材由下往上堆疊而成,每一片的輪廓略有不同,因此側面呈現連續的等高線階梯;從遠處看是一個平滑的曲面量體,近看是一層層的板。板的斷面全部外露。避免:把層與層之間的階梯打磨成平滑曲面、在側面貼上包覆材料、讓每一層的厚度不一致、使用過厚的板材讓階梯過於明顯。
