泡泡馆
The Bubble Pavilion
塞维利亚大学建筑工程高等技术学院启动了一个雄心勃勃的项目，以胶合板为原材料建造一个实验馆——“泡泡馆”。该项目源于塞维利亚大学教授兼研究员Roberto Narváez及其教授和学生团队开展的几何、结构和建筑研究项目。该项目旨在使用计算或参数化设计工具对建筑设计的新方法进行实践研究。基于在等半径的球形肥皂泡中发现的几何关系，使用Rhinoceros和Grasshopper设计了一种几何算法，以使气泡簇的自然排列适应任何自由形状的表面。随后，在Grasshopper中设计了另一种算法，使用层压木板和数字制造工具将结构具体化。
The Higher Technical School of Construction Engineering at the University of Seville launched an ambitious project to build an experimental pavilion – the “Bubble Pavilion” – using plywood panels as the raw material. The project stems from a geometric, structural, and construction research project undertaken by Roberto Narváez, a professor and researcher at the University of Seville, and his team of professors and students.The project aimed to conduct practical research into new approaches to architectural design using computational or parametric design tools. Based on the geometric relationships found in spherical soap bubbles of equal radius, a geometric algorithm is designed using Rhinoceros and Grasshopper to adapt the natural arrangement of bubble clusters to any free-form surface.Subsequently, another algorithm is designed in Grasshopper to materialize the structure using laminated wood panels and digital fabrication tools.
木材——更具体地说，Garnica提供的胶合板——被用作建造结构的原材料。据项目设计师称，“木材的可持续性、强度、美观性以及易于加工的特点，使木材成为在未来几年内蓬勃发展的新建筑方法中将发挥极其重要作用的材料之一。这将伴随着新的结构和非结构系统的出现，以适应有机和定制的几何形状，这与我们今天看到的传统建筑截然不同。
Timber – more specifically, plywood panels provided by Garnica – was used as the raw material to build the structure. According to the project designer, “its sustainability, strength, aesthetics, and the ease with which it can be machined, make timber one of the materials that will play an extremely important role in the new methods of construction which will proliferate in years to come. This will be accompanied by the emergence of new structural and non-structural systems, adapted to organic and customized geometries that are worlds apart from the conventional constructions we see today”.
Bubble Pavilion项目背后的团队与位于Marchena（安达卢西亚塞维利亚）的一家专门从事木材产品的公司Maderas Cilpe和提供建筑中使用的胶合板的Garnica合作。
The team behind the Bubble Pavilion project collaborated with Maderas Cilpe, a company based in Marchena (Seville, Andalusia) that specializes in timber products, and Garnica, who provided the plywood panels used in the construction.

该项目由Roberto Narváez领导的一群学生和教授执行。CAD（计算机辅助设计）程序被用作参数化和算法设计的一部分，而数字CAM（计算机辅助制造）技术和系统则用于切割零件。这两项技术为开发项目提供了技术和经济可行性，这将改变我们未来几年的建设方式。Timber将在这种新模式中发挥主导作用。
The project was carried out by a group of students and professors led by Roberto Narváez. CAD (Computer Aided Design) programs were used as part of the parametric and algorithmic design, while digital CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) techniques and systems were used to cut the pieces. These two technologies provide technical and economic feasibility for developing this project, which will change how we build in the years ahead. Timber will play a leading role in this new paradigm.
