薄如硬币的四层有机建筑

这幅新作品是由2017年世博会委托建造的，现在作为永久建筑矗立在哈萨克斯坦阿斯塔纳。它的高度是43′英尺(13.1米)，用于构建最小|最大值的核心材料是2mm的铝条。一个层从来都不是独立存在的，该系统可与碳纤维技术(如碳纤维或玻璃纤维)进行比较，但与纤维不同的是，每个单独的组件不需要处于张力(直线)，而且其加工不需要任何模具或临时支架。此外，这种复合系统是机械结合的，允许在施工过程中进行重新组合和修正。

This new piece was commissioned by World Expo 2017 and now stands as a permanent structure on the grounds in Astana, Kazakhstan. Despite its impressive height of 43′ feet (13.1 meters), the core material used to build Minima | Maxima are 2mm strips of aluminum. From their project statement:Minima | Maxima evolves the studio’s invention of ‘Structural Stripes’ — a signature material system for building self-supporting curvilinear structures — with a step in a direction that offers even more structural potential: multi-ply composite. Three layers of flat stripes — white and white sandwiching pink — are constructed in tandem, supporting one another as they assume curvature and gain height. One layer never exists independently, but contributes to and benefits from the unified whole as it is built.The system warrants comparison to fiber technology — such as carbon or glass fiber — yet is unique in that unlike fibers, each individual component does not need to be in tension (a straight line), and/or their processing does not require any mold or temporary scaffolding. Also such a composite system is mechanically bonded, allowing for recomposition and corrections during construction.You can see how the structure was assembled in the video below, and explore more work by THEVERYMANY on Instagram.
