来自英国的建筑师事务所Gilles Retsin Architecture最近完成了一座极具实验性的全木质展馆。该展馆位于塔林，其建筑主体以乐高玩具的拼接方式组装而成。2017塔林建筑双年展举办了一次分两阶段评选的国际竞赛，参与者以传统爱沙尼亚木房建造工艺为基础，结合独具创意的形式打造一系列临时性户外装置。这一竞赛很快得到了广泛关注，仅第一阶段就有来自全世界200份创意设计方案呈递于此。在第二阶段竞赛中，评委会选出16件参赛作品，而Gilles Retsin Architecture便是这其中的最后胜出者。评委会委员Martin Tamke这样评价该作品“独特的审美与充满智慧的挑战，回应并质疑了当下建筑建造趋势和理念。”

London-based Gilles Retsin Architecture has completed an experimental plywood pavilion in Tallinn, using lego-like building blocks made of plywood. The Tallinn Architecture Biennale 2017 organised an international open two-stage competition, challenging participants to develop creative designs for a temporary outdoor installation, making innovative use of the fabrication capacities of the Estonian wooden house manufacturers. The call raised wide international interest, 200 portfolios were submitted for the first round from all over the world. 16 works were selected for the second round by the jury. Gilles Retsin Architecture was selected as winner, with a proposal that jury member Martin Tamke describes as “ characterized by outstanding aesthetic and intellectually challenging, as it questions current beliefs and trends in architecture”.

传统的建造工艺平均使用7000多个不同的部件。这直接导致了建造工业复杂的生产链，缓慢的建造过程，极高的造价和种种不便。如果可以从根本上缩减这个数字会怎样？2017塔林建筑双年展展馆就是这样一座，用极少的组件搭建而成的建筑，这些组件可以用作建筑的柱、梁甚至外表皮。在过去的十年里，建筑学校，研究团体和建筑爱好者们都奋不顾身的投入到参数化设计的热潮当中。这些所谓的“参数化设计展馆”都表现的极为相似：它们几乎都是徒有其表，而这些外表则是经过无数组件，经过无数复杂的拼接和组装而成。

The traditional construction industry makes on average use of more than 7000 different parts. This results in a complicated production chain, making building slow, expensive and inaccessible for the many. What if we could radically reduce that number ? The TAB 2017 pavilion is based on a just a few, lego-like pieces that can act as both column, beam and cladding at the same time. The past decade has seen an explosion of parametric pavilion structures, built by architecture schools, research institutes and enthusiasts. These so-called “parametric pavilions” are remarkably similar: they are almost always based on a surface or shell, that is then split into thousands of different pieces and then painstakingly re-assembled into the desired form.

不同于以往的离散型建筑组件，该胜出项目提出以乐高积木的方式组建出不同的建筑形态。这些建筑元件全部为当地廉价和不合标准的18毫米耐风化胶合板（3.3 x 1.35 m）。每一片胶合板由CNC机器切割而成，并最终组装成可以承载结构重量的建筑体块。这些分别是45度、90度和135度角的组件构成一个系列的拼接模块。它们可以拼接成各种“刚刚好”的建筑结构，如承重结构，张力结构，悬挑或支撑柱。这些组件外部涂抹黑沥青焦油或清漆来抵御外部气候侵袭。超过380平方米的胶合板被切割并组装成80个结构组件。该展馆为设计师和当地建造商，于塔林当地合作组装完成。

This proposal is critical of this approach, and instead proposes to create a series of discrete building blocks, that similar to LEGO, can be assembled into a variety of structures. These building blocks are based on cheap, off-standard sheets of 18mm exterior plywood (3.3 x 1.35 m) which were locally available. Each sheet is cut by a CNC-machine, and can then be assembled into a stiff building block capable of bearing structural loads. The blocks exist as a family of straight,45 degrees, 90 degrees and 135 degrees elements. These building blocks are designed to perform “just good enough” in any structural condition: under compression, tension, as a cantilever or as a column. The blocks are protected from the exterior climate with black bitumen tar or varnish. Over 380 m2 of plywood was cut and assembled into 80 building blocks. The entire structure was fabricated locally in Tallinn, in collaboration with local manufacturers.

与砖墙结构相似，该木质元件也使用错层相接的方式组装成大型柱梁。该连接基于悬挂天花板或悬挂电缆所常用的螺纹杆。这些螺纹杆通过几个部分相连，并在张力作用下形成坚硬的结构。该装置仅需一个棘轮扳手就可以在场地内快速装配，且可以根据需要恣意改装。这座占地面积72平方米的展馆，经4人耗时4天完成，且没有借助任何起重机、吊车等机械帮手。该展馆最终实现了材质和结构上的高效性。它仅用18毫米胶合板，实现了整体重量2吨，最长达4米悬挑，可承重人数达4人的户外装置。

Similar to a brick-bond, these discrete building blocks can be combined together into a staggered pattern, able to produce large beams and spans. The connection is based on off-the-shelf threaded rods, used in suspended ceilings or to hang cable gutters. These rods connect through several pieces, forming a stiff structure under tension. The blocks can be quickly assembled on site, using only a set of ratchet-spanners and bolts. The assembly remains reversible, it can be modified or taken apart afterwards. The whole pavilion, covering an area of 75 m2 was assembled in just 4 days by a crew of 4 people, without any mechanical tools such as a crane or lift. The pavilion is materially and structurally efficient: the overall weight of the pavilion is only 2 tons, while it can support local loads of four people and can be extended with a roof. Using only 18mm thin plywood, cantilevers of up to 4m and are achieved.

相比于一个建筑完成体来说，该展馆更像是对建筑类型和建造系统的实例分析。从这个意义上来说，它更像是柯布西耶的多米诺体系：一个抽象的大型可重组、可重复建造系统。与典型的参数化造型展馆不同，该展馆更希望被人理解成大型建造系统中的一部分，某个大型建筑系统的组成单位。横向的元件组成系统，暗示了它可以在多个水平方向上堆叠和重复的事实。如此说来，该展馆将可以无限延伸，成为适应性强的开放性装置。它可以以置入屋顶或立面而结束，又可以因外置的小屋或连桥而继续延伸。

The pavilion is more a case-study or prototype of a construction system rather than a finished form. In that sense it’s similar to Le Corbusier’s Maison Domino: an abstract model of a larger, recombinable and repeatable construction system. In contrast to the typical shell or surface-like parametric pavilions, this pavilion wants to be understood as a part of a larger whole, a unit in a mass-housing system. The horizontal organisation hints at the fact that it could be stacked and repeated in multiple directions. The pavilion is never finished: it remains an open and adaptable whole. The structure could be finished with a roof or facade and continue it’s life afterwards as a cabin, pedestrian bridge or house on another location.

展馆的数字工作流程，使其建造过程成为成本低、快速、开放的生产链。在数字制造工具的帮助下，一种脆弱的材料可以转变成多功能的建筑组件，任何人都可以在无工具的状态下自由组装。这种建造方式可以被应用于更加大型的建造工业中，而材料也可替换为更为坚硬的CLT（交错层压木材）和LVL（单板层积材）。该项向对数字化研究领域感兴趣的建筑师和设计师传达了一个信息，即鼓励他们在数字化建造和大规模建造系统领域里，进行创新技术和建筑智能的研究。3D打印机和其他数字制造工具不仅仅是作为技术手段，或者展现设计外形的工具，它们或许还具有潜在社会性作用。

The digital workflow behind the pavilion enables a low-cost, fast and open production-chain. With the help of digital fabrication tools, an initially weak material is turned into a versatile and structural building block that can be assembled by anyone, with almost no tools. This construction method is scalable and could be applied for housing solutions on a larger scale using stronger materials such as CLT ( Cross Laminated Timber) or LVL ( Laminated Veneer Lumber). The project aims to send a message to architects and designers interested in digital research to set up technologically innovative and architecturally intelligent research into digital fabrication and mass-housing. Can we understand robots, 3D-Printers and other digital fabrication tools not just as a technical mannerisms, or tools for formal expression, but also as machines with a potential social agency ?
