斗栱距离我们当代的生活已经比较远了,其构造方式——榫卯只在高端木制家具中出现,应该说其构造技术方式“悲哀”地成为了一种奢侈品标签,而斗栱本身则彻底进入了历史课本,成为建筑学专业学生考完《中国建筑史》既忘的非必须技能点。我要承认在做斗栱App之前,我也差不多都把那些生僻的名称及意义还给老师了。 但是在我们做斗栱的过程中,整个团队又重新感受到斗栱那扑面而来的匠心。是的,现代的建筑术里面已经没有斗栱的位置了,其功能——撑托屋顶的重量、屋顶重量传递到梁柱的过渡部件、减少梁的压力增加开间、支撑天花藻井、支撑挑檐等等——已经被更先进、更省钱、并且批量复制的方式代替了,这么美的传统工艺的衰落是让人伤感的。 我们的团队在想的一个问题是,我们能不能将斗栱和榫卯变成一个方便人们把玩和观赏的东西,就像大家仍然把玩使用机械手表那样,虽然它的功能性已经退化,但是装饰品化和奢侈品化起码找到一种方式解决了传统技艺留存的问题。一个斗栱App希望能有所贡献。 操作介绍:         按住滑动手指可旋转观察斗栱 双指收缩可缩小放大视角 双手指并拢平移视角 双手指双击屏幕重置视角 单指长按结构部件进入单独观察部件模式        通过按钮拆解斗栱        查看部件的名称和功能简介         希望它能够成为你细心把玩的一个App,体会古典中国建筑的匠心独运。 联系方式 电话: 15918633615 冷先生 19925658500 崔先生 邮箱: 21565055@qq.com
