麻省理工学院肖恩·科利尔纪念碑是为了纪念2013年在波士顿马拉松爆炸案中中枪身亡的肖恩·科利尔军官而建造的。文章介绍了这一永久性建筑物的设计与建造过程。设计将当代的数字建造技术、结构分析软件和计算技术与古老的纯受压穹顶技术相结合,创造出由硬石构成的五向穹顶和内部反射的中空拱形结构。这一建造包含由计算机控制的锯石和机械臂切石过程,以创造出多样的曲面石块。巨大的石块被运至现场由泥瓦匠依照复杂的搭建顺序装配完成。从方法论而言,麻省理工学院肖恩·科利尔纪念碑的设计流程是一个来回推敲的过程,即不断地进行数字模拟,在构建物理模型、模拟模型和数字模型的过程中进行优化设计。这一设计同时展现了以新兴数字建造方法为代表的当代技术和以传统石块砌筑技术为代表的永恒手工艺。
The Sean Collier Monument at MIT was built to honor Sean Collier, who shot dead in the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013. The article describes the design and construction of this permanent building. Design Combining contemporary digital construction techniques, structural analysis software, and computational techniques with the ancient Pure Compression Dome technology, a five-way dome made of hard rock and a hollow dome structure with internal reflection are created. This construction involves a computer-controlled sawing and arm-cutting process to create a variety of curved stones. Huge stones were shipped to the site by masons in accordance with the complex build order to complete the assembly. From a methodological point of view, the design process at the MIT Sean Collier Monument is a round-robin process that involves continuous numerical simulations and optimal design of physical, analog, and numerical models. This design shows both contemporary technology represented by emerging digital construction methods and eternal craftsmanship represented by traditional masonry techniques.
