The Translation of Traditional Architecture with Performance-based Material Development:A Case Study of Meiting Pavilion in Jiangsu Horticultural Expo Park
The integration of material development and digital fabrication has expanded architectural design methods and construction technology,providing new imagination of transforming traditional style buildings in China.The humanistic culture and material properties of traditional architecture complement each other and evolve together.The Meiting Pavilion in Jiangsu Horticultural Expo Park inherits the image and function of traditional pavilions,but adopts new technology such as knitted fabric reinforced plastic and customized glulam elements.We experimented with a construction method that blends the old and the new.The form and structure follow the"thin and light"image of plum blossom and create a translucent roof that invites sunlight.The construction process explores new material technology,structural optimization,and digital fabrication.Traditional style architecture could redefine a natural unity between material properties and cultural image.
