1 中庭與圍護體的結構比較研究/Comparative study of possible confgurations of the envelope on the site atrium permutations

2001年，辛辛那提大學委托伯納德·屈米建筑事務所設計一個新的校隊田徑中心。大學要求將這個中心作為田徑訓練、管理、運動醫學和學術活動的中心，放在校園未被開發的地段。我們選擇了一種針對地段的回旋鏢形概念，稱之為“文脈自由形”。我們還要跨過建筑下方的重要區域。通過與結構工程師合作，我們決定將建筑圍護結構做成一種剛性桁架。這樣不僅滿足了跨越下方的條件，而且這種結構上的挑戰將成為項目的一張名片。這種處理場地和策劃的手法既合理又有策略。

屈米的草圖是一種快速的抽象。這種手繪圖的目的是表達概念，它往往是項目的精髓。草圖不取決于手繪的水平，建筑草圖的意義也不在于美，而是用最少的線條將想法表達出來。在這個階段只需要想法或概念。它是一種手段而不是目標。從1970-1980年代至今，所有的項目屈米都會用圖示和草圖，并通常是在項目的前兩個月。□（尚晉 譯）

2 長跨度與懸臂圍護體的外骨骼橋梁結構研究/Studies of the exoskeleton bridge structure of the envelope long spans and cantilevers

In 2001 the University of Cincinnati approached Bernard Tschumi Architects with a commission for a new hub for varsity athletics. The client indicated that the centre, which was intended as an epicentre for athletics training, administration,sports medicine, and academic activities, was to be located on a site flled with extreme constraints. We selected a site-refective,boomerang-shaped concept that we called a "contextual freeform". We needed to span over the critical areas located below the building. Working with our structural engineers, we thought of making a stif truss out of the building envelope. Not only did it allow us to bridge the conditions below; the structural challenge will provide an image for the project. The approach to the site and programme is both logical and strategic.

3 自由形式概念圖解/Diagrams conceptual free-form

Tschumi's notations are quick abstractions, diagrams drawn by hand in order to express a concept, and often the very essence of a project. Notation doesn't depend on how well you draw. An architectural notation is not about being pretty or beautiful, it is about using the smallest number or amount of lines in order to express what you are thinking. At this stage, it is only about thought, ideas, or concepts. It is a means and never an end.The diagrams and notations are developed for all projects from the 1970s and 1980s to today. These diagrams or notations are generally drawn during the frst two months of any project.□
