砖石砌筑既是古老的工艺又是具有前瞻性的工法，基于今日的技术，无论是材料性和砌筑方式皆有很大的进展。透 过力 (Force）与形 (Form）一体两面的力学与几何学之对应，纯受压结构（Compression-Only）可经济地围合富含 诗意的空间。本研究欲透过新颖的结构设计方法，展现高效的结构形式，让古老的砌筑有新的诠释，并且透过砌筑 模型来讨论数位可建构性与离散化建造模式。本研究先以文献研究法整理砌筑法 (Mansonry) 与切石术 (Stereotomy) 构筑发展，其涉及材料性质、图解静力学发展脉络与拱形态沿革。接着以物理关系式推导、动态松弛法 (DR) 、三 维网格分析法 (TNA) 三种形态找寻的方式个别建构数位砌筑的程序。最终以便宜易加工的材料置换真实砖石材料制 造五组砌筑模型，按照形态可分为斜肋构架、双曲抛物面与复杂曲面三种受压结构系统，透过砌筑模型讨论形态找 寻机制、砖体于曲面上的几何、假设工程减量设计以及机械手臂辅助放样与制造。 Brick masonry in architecture is not only an ancient form of craftsmanship but also a form of construction that has withstood the test of time. Corresponding mechanics with geometry (i.e. forces and forms), compression-only structures can enclose poetic spaces economically. Tremendous progress has been made in the materiality and modern architectural applications of bricklaying. This project aims to reinvigorate research in masonry by incorporating new structural design methods to improve efficiency of the structural form while also wishing to explore the possible implementations of digital and discrete assembly via brick masonry models. This project will further examine the development of masonry and stereotomy architectures through literature review, with emphasis on the evolution of material properties, graphic statics in developing context and the history of arch forms. After which, three separate digital masonry processing software will be derived using methodologies including physical derivatives, Dynamic Relaxation (DR) and Thrust Network (TNA) respectively. Finally, using materials that are affordable and easily processed, five sets of masonry models will be created and constructed utilizing three compression-only forms; these forms include the diagrid frame, hyperbolic paraboloid and multi-pressurize structure. Based on the above masonry models, this project seeks to discuss the form finding methodologies, analyze geometry of discrete elements, theorize more efficient falsework, and explore effects of robotic setting-out and fabrication.

本章复杂曲面结构砌筑建构逻辑分为三个部分 : 形态找寻、砖体单元制造和搭建曲面。形态找寻主要是依据 Thrust Network Analysis (TNA) (Block, 2009)， 透过交互式参数设计插件 RhinoVAULTᶣ71$⸠〉ㄼ⫉㤝ⶸ㢉 演算曲面结构的力平衡，接着经由 Grasshopper Python 生成壳体厚度。砖体单元制造分别为积层式制造 ( 加法制造 ) 和热熔丝切割 ( 减法制造 )，藉由数位制造工具生成不规则砖体单元。复杂曲面在完工之前是不稳定结构体，且特殊造型、非对称式结构很容易造成崩塌， 因此搭建顺序和假设工程抑是关键要点。

淡江傳承工作營是淡江數位設計實驗室的傳統，每年應屆畢業研究生會 將各自的研究成果分享給淡江學弟妹，很榮幸能貢獻所學，舉行了一整 天的工作營。 本次工作營將分為 Lecture 及 Tutorial 兩個部分。Lecture 將包含簡介圖 解靜力學、軟體初步介紹與講者在義大利砌築暑期學校的經驗分享；下 午則是 RhinoVAULT 的軟體教學。
Tamkang legacy workshop is the tradition of Tamkang Digital Design Lab. Each year, fresh graduate students will share their research results with others in Tamkang. I am honored to contribute what I have learned and hold a full day workshop. The worshop will be divided into two parts, Lecture and Tutorial. Lecture will include a brief introduction to graphic statics, a preliminary introduction to software, and the experience about the Italian Masonry Summer School. In the afternoon, the schedule is RhinoVAULT's software tutorial.
