架构师提供的文本描述。厚是一个研究项目，探索材料厚度作为一个场所的建筑调查。材料厚度是一种未经过充分研究的建筑条件，在剖面上暗示，在图形地面上伪装，并在展开的表面绘图中以箔的形式呈现出来。厚度避开高程，并隐藏在投影绘图的边缘。因此，它常常被认为仅仅是表示系统中的真实的不便，并且成为许多设计行为的一个难以捉摸的地方。该项目探索了材料厚度在历史和现代的模具和生产过程中的外围作用。

Text description provided by the architects. Thick is a research project that explores material thickness as a site of an architectural investigation. Alluded to in section, camouflaged in the figure-ground, and presented as a foil in the developed surface drawing, material thickness is an understudied architectural condition. Thickness evades the elevation and hides out in the edges of projective drawing. As such, it is often considered a mere inconvenience of the real within systems of representation, and has served as an elusive site for many acts of design. The project explores the peripheral role of material thickness within historic and contemporary processes of tooling and production. 

厚度的条件-厚度的必要性-在任何建筑思维时代都没有中心的意义，但仍然能够在不同的建筑思维时代循环运行。它的状况与立体分割和石头建造的历史有关(但不是核心)；在新的建筑绘画形式的出现中(见Robyn Evans的“发达表面”)；以及多里克秩序的经典问题。即使在现代主义模糊的固体形式，它仍然是一个不可避免的考虑在米西亚角和基斯勒的无休止的表面。这是建筑缺乏媒介特性的结果，因为它在绘图、图像平面、屏幕、工具路径、材料和装配之间不断迁移。

The condition of thickness — the necessity of thickness — carries no central import in any era of architectural thinking, but still manages to circulate through different eras of architectural thinking. Its condition is linked to (but is not central to) the history of stereotomy and stone construction; in the emergence of new forms of architectural drawing (see Robyn Evans’ “The Developed Surface”); and in the classic problem of the Doric order. Even in the Modernist obfuscation of solid form, it remains an unavoidable consideration in the Miesian corner and Kiesler’s endless surfaces. It is the consequence of architecture’s lack of medium-specificity, in its constant migration between the drawing, the picture plane, the screen, the tool path, the material, and the assembly.

厚度既是一个具有代表性的问题，也是一个建设性的问题。在我们今天的建筑标准中，厚度已经成为材料偏移的代名词，这是由于板料占主导地位，与立体剖分相反，厚度是从减法和移除中得来的。因此，厚度成为一种构造缺省，而不是一种有待设计的技术。在今天的数字环境中，厚度只是事后考虑而已。数字模型是无限薄的。它的默认属性是一条单线或算法曲线，它的“厚度”必须加进去。它看起来像一个偏移，一个挤压，或一个封闭的表面。在这里，我们开始面对表象的局限性及其相应的物质实相性质。

Thickness is a constructive problem as much as it is a representational one. In our present day standards of construction, thickness has become synonymous with material offset due to the predominance of sheet material, as opposite to stereotomy, in which thickness is derived from subtraction and removal of mass. As such, thickness becomes a tectonic default rather than a techne to be designed. In today’s digital environments, thickness has become mere afterthought. The digital model is infinitely thin. Its default property is a single line or algorithmic curve, and its “thickness” must be added. It appears as an offset, an extrusion, or an enclosed surface.  Here we begin to confront the limits of representation with its correspondent properties of material reality.

这个项目以一个为期两个月的画展而达到高潮，展览的主题是斯皮纳古的新作品。作品是空间的(在图片库的文字墙壁内/之间或上面操作)以及表象。在公开讨论的同时，展览通过剖面、废墟、碎片、建筑、塑像、同时性和表象等主题，扩展了材料厚度的问题。

The project culminates with a two-month exhibition in the SCI-Arc gallery space, featuring new work by Spinagu. The work is spatial (operating within / between / upon the literal walls of the gallery) as well as representational. Coupled with a public discussion, the exhibition expands on the problems of material thickness through the topic of sections, ruins, fragments, constructions, figurations, simultaneity, and representation.
