Introduction
Diamond-Shaped System is a static modular system developed by a research group of teachers and students on the east of the Great Wall. It is based on the basic philosophy of ancient Chinese philosophy to explore changes in the space relationship. It is mainly composed of a circular base and diamond-shaped modules. Through the combination of the modules and the base, it can assemble various shapes of building blocks with two and three dimensional.
The diamond-shaped module is composed of four parts, left and right diamond-shaped connection pieces, the middle connector and the central connection piece. The four parts of the diamond module are respectively connected in accordance with the principle of uniform fixed connection. The diamond module itself represents the two-dimensional shape while the combination between the base and the module can create three-dimensional shapes with certain flexibility which is suitable for the using of different space levels.
The diamond-shaped system solves the assembly problems of geometric objects. The system has a simple design and a wide range of applications. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor projects. The various shapes are combined and combined through the base and module’s combination to present different shapes for different uses such as scaffolding, bridge structure, light transmission architect and so on. The diamond-shaped system can also be used for scientific research. For example, in grid lattice system, the diamond-shaped modules can combine with the base to form a rectangular or rhombus unit grid lattice, which will be applied in the analysis of static problem.
The diamond-shaped system is of universal use and has infinite potential in design development. The construction process is simple and easy to understand. It can be disassembled and reassembled conveniently in different places. It is also environmentally friendly and has a good outlook and strength. It is sure that it will bring more convenience and imagination to the architecture construction industry.
Conclusion
In conclusion, diamond-shaped system is the result of researches on the philosophy of ancient Chinese philosophy. It is featured in the combination of both two-dimensional module and three-dimensional base, simple design and wide application range. Its construction process is easy to understand and it is environmental friendly and has a good outlook and strength. The diamond-shaped system solves the assembly problems of geometric objects and is also applicable in many scientific researches. It will bring more convenience and imagination to the architecture construction industry. It shows great potential in design development and has universal uses in all kinds of fields.
