架构师提供的文本描述。天篷设计从天篷的基本功能标准开始：为了提供遮阳层(该场地覆盖着一个现有的阻止雨水的雨篷)，制作了一个平面折叠，以适应3M×3M×6m的体积限制。经过一系列的形式调整后，底面被塑造成一个动态的外观，提供一个阴影区和一个座位的长凳下面。

Text description provided by the architects. The canopy design starts with the basic functional criteria of a canopy: to provide a shade (the site is covered with an existing canopy that stops rain water), a flat folded surface is made to fit in the volume constraint of 3M x 3M x 6M. After a series of adjustment of the form, the base surface is shaped into a dynamic appearance that offers a shaded area and a seating bench underneath.

在动态形式中，曲率随表面变化而变化；这种曲率变化为传播的组件提供了一个基本输入，以创建不同的开口。为了细分曲面，采取了几个优化步骤：通过在最动态网格之间寻找一个平衡点，使网格单元的形状/尺寸发生剧烈变化，从而破坏高曲率区域的网格连续性，从而最终选择一个正交曲面网格来生成六边形面板阵列。广泛的面板是自动消除时，他们从表面的领域。

Within the dynamic form, curvature varies across the surface; such a curvature variation provides a basic input for the propagated component to create differentiated openings. Several steps of optimization have been taken to subdivide the surface: by looking for a balanced point between the most dynamic grid which result in drastic variation in the shape/size of grid cells and the most identical grid cells’ shape that breaks the grid continuity at some high-curvature area, an orthogonal surface gird is finally chosen to generate a hexagonal array of panels. Extensive panels are automatically eliminated when they fall out of the surface domain.

在第一次展开的六角形面板，面板是双弯曲的大部分地区的表面，在面板之间没有任何开口。考虑到现有的面板制造技术和材料都是激光切割胶合板，必须保证所有面板都是平坦的，在曲面上传播面板时，应智能设计梯度开口。

In the first deployment of the hexagonal panels, panels are doubly curved in most area of the surface, and in between panels lack any openings. Considering the available panel fabrication technique and material are laser-cut plywood, it is essential to ensure that all the panels are flat, and the gradient openings should be intelligently designed while propagating the panels on curved surface.

在优化传播策略后，以投影的方式对所有六角形板进行平展，使3个点保持在原来的位置，并将其余的3个点投影到平面上。这提供了一种方法，以约束六角形面板在其6个顶点中的3个，而释放其他3个，以产生开口，当表面曲率变得激进。面板上的第二个三角形孔被部署在面板非常大的地方。

After optimize the propagation strategy, all hexagonal panels are flattened by projection in a manner so as to keep 3 points constrained to their original location, and projecting the other 3 to a flat plane. This provides a method to constrain the hexagonal panels at 3 of its 6 vertices, while freeing up the other 3 to produce openings where the surface curvature becomes radical. A second stream of triangular holes on the panels is deployed where the panels are very large.

 Design Process

钢索网设计为主框架与六角板之间的中间支撑结构。一个定制的接头被设计成固定在电缆网格上的面板，同时它也提供了足够的灵活性，以吸收建筑公差和重力引起的自然变形。该接头是由使用现成的部件，如电缆夹子和螺栓，以及定制的装配件，如9毫米中密度纤维板间隔和0.4m不锈钢板3槽。从胶合板上切出的槽与不锈钢板上的槽垂直对齐。当结合面板本身的灵活性，他们提供了一个关节是灵活的和可操作的3轴。

A steel cable mesh is designed as an intermediate support structure between the primary frame and the hexagonal panels. A customized a joint is designed to fix the panels on the cable meshes, while it also gives enough flexibility between panels to absorb the construction tolerance and natural deformation due to gravity. The joint is made from using off-the-shelf parts like cable clamps and bolts and custom fabricated parts like 9mm MDF spacer and a 0.4m stainless steel plate with 3 slots. The slots cut out from the plywood panels align perpendicularly to the slot on the stainless steel plate. When combined with the flexibility of the panel itself, they provide a joint that is flexible and manipulatable in 3 axes.

 Design Process

一个40x40毫米L截面钢框架锚定在墙上，然后一个网格的激光切割胶合板段被固定到钢框架，其中钢缆网连接。最后，通过定制的节点将六角板的整体区域固定在索网上。考虑到关节的灵活性，所有的六角形面板都会根据重力调整到最终位置。

A 40x40mm L-section steel frame is anchored to the wall, then a grid of laser-cut plywood sections is secured to the steel frame, to where the steel cable mesh attached. At last the overall field of hexagonal panels are fixed to the cable mesh via the customized joints. Given the flexibility from the joints, all hexagonal panels adjust themselves into final position by gravity.
