“This installation re-makes space by transforming light and volume above a lounge at the heart of California College of the Arts in San Francisco. The overall shape is optimized to reflect and refract light into the lower gallery from the clerestory above. It was formed using a special branching algorithm that resolved the three upper openings above, and one larger opening below, into a single smooth surface. The cellular aggregation of the surface was designed using Generative Components. Each piece is designed to be cut from a single sheet of material, bent back on itself and riveted into place. The pieces bend in order to allow the surface to flex slightly, distributing tension stress evenly throughout the structure. The surface variation caused by the bending also makes it selectively porous, funneling light and views in specific directions.” Charles Lee.


"這個裝置通過改變舊金山加州藝術學院核心休息區上方的光線和量體來重新創造空間. 整體形狀經過優化, 可以將光線反射並折射從上方天窗到下部通道中. 它是使用特殊的分支算法形成的, 該算法將上面的三個上部開口和下面的一個較大的開口分解成單個光滑表面. 使用Generative Components設計表面的單元聚集. 每件產品都是從單片材料上切割而成, 自身向後彎曲並鉚接到位. 這些部件彎曲以使表面稍微彎曲, 在整個結構中均勻地分佈拉伸應力. 由於每單元自身的彎曲角度也順勢形成了曲面多樣化及選擇性的角度開孔, 進而有導光和特定方向的視角" Charles Lee.
