Difference from Parametric: Curves Should Be Few and Large

Two curved buildings juxtaposed. The parametric building is composed of thousands of units of varying sizes, with a densely gradient facade of grilles and perforations, clearly appearing to be computer-generated; the organic curve building has only a few large, unhurried arcs: an undulating roof, three staggered curved balconies, and a curved white wall, each of which could be drawn by hand. One is complex, the other is soft. Avoid: the organic curve building having a densely gradient parametric facade, using many triangular meshes and perforation patterns, too many curves interfering with each other, or the overall appearance looking like a product of digital computation.

兩棟曲線建築並置。參數化那棟由上千片尺寸各不相同的單元組成,表皮是密集漸變的格柵與孔洞,看得出是電腦演算出來的;有機曲線那棟只有幾道大而從容的弧線:一條起伏的屋頂、三層錯開的弧形陽台、一面彎曲的白牆,每一條都可以用手畫出來。一個複雜,一個柔和。避免:讓有機曲線那棟出現密集漸變的參數化表皮、使用大量三角網格與孔洞圖案、曲線過多而互相干擾、讓整體看起來像數位演算的產物。
