Concept概念簡述

Rubble masonry

石牆堆砌

Fieldstone is a table inspired by rubble masonry, a traditional construction method in which irregular stones are stacked and assembled into a stable structure. The project reinterprets this principle through computational design and digital fabrication, translating the logic of stacked natural rocks into a collection of artificially formed modules.

By combining the irregular geometry of stone formations with the precision of 3D sand printing, Fieldstone explores the relationship between natural forms and manufactured objects. Rather than simply imitating the appearance of stone masonry, the project investigates how its principles of fragmentation and assembly can be reconstructed through contemporary manufacturing methods. Fieldstone / 積石是一張以傳統亂石砌築（Rubble Masonry）為靈感的桌子。亂石砌築是一種將不規則石塊相互堆疊、組合成穩定結構的傳統工法。作品透過計算設計與數位製造重新詮釋這項構築原理，將天然石塊的堆疊邏輯轉化為一系列人工生成的模組。結合自然石塊的不規則幾何與 3D 砂材列印的精確性，Fieldstone 試圖製造出具有自然幾何特徵，同時具備實際功能的「石頭」。作品並非單純模仿亂石堆砌的外觀，而是將石砌工藝中分割與組裝的構成原理，轉譯為當代數位製造的方法，探索自然形態與人造物件之間的關係。

算法工藝

Fieldstone was developed in collaboration with Zongru Wu and fabricated by Sandhelden using binder jetting, a 3D printing process that selectively binds layers of granular material to produce three-dimensional objects.The process begins with a complete digital model of the table. Through an algorithmic approach, the geometry is divided into a series of irregular modules, each individually produced through 3D sand printing. These printed components are then reassembled and stacked to form the final structure.

Unlike traditional rubble masonry, where existing stones are selected and arranged according to their shapes, Fieldstone reverses the process: the overall form is designed first, then fragmented into individual pieces for fabrication and assembly. This approach explores how computational design can reinterpret the logic of traditional masonry, bringing digital precision into a process of constructing with irregular forms. 本專案與吳宗儒 (ZongRu Wu)合作開發，並由 Sandhelden 以黏結劑噴射成形技術（Binder Jetting）製作。這項 3D 列印技術透過選擇性噴射黏結劑，逐層結合砂材等顆粒材料，形成三維物件。製作過程從完整的桌體數位模型開始，利用演算法將整體幾何分割成一系列不規則模組，再透過 3D 砂材列印分別製造。完成列印後，這些獨立的構件被重新組合、堆疊，形成最終的桌體結構。不同於傳統亂石砌築先挑選既有石塊，再依照形狀進行排列與組裝，本專案嘗試將這個過程反轉：先設計完整造形，再將其拆解為可以個別製造與組裝的單元。透過這種方式，作品探索如何以計算設計重新詮釋傳統砌築的構成邏輯，讓數位製造的精確性與不規則形態的堆疊工藝相互結合。
