一个充满耀眼色彩和纹理的波浪形屋顶

伦敦大学学院巴特利特建筑学院的学生们开发了一种由可回收塑料制成的3d打印多材料系统，这是他们建筑设计硕士课程的一部分。

该项目被称为“metaplas”，利用刚性和柔性热塑性塑料，通过几何褶皱创建一个结构系统。为了演示如何使用它，学生团队将该设计应用到伦敦的尤斯顿车站，设想了一个充满耀眼色彩和纹理的波浪形屋顶。

students from the bartlett school of architecture at UCL have developed a 3D-printed multi-material system made from recyclable plastics as part of their architectural design master’s program. called ‘metaplas’, the project makes use of rigid and flexible thermoplastics to create a structural system through geometric folds. and to demonstrate how it could be used, the team of students has applied the design to london’s euston station, envisioning an undulating roof canopy for the site filled with dazzling colors and textures. 

metaplas的开发目标是创建一个通过数字工具统一设计、材料、结构要求和制造的材料系统。学生们还专注于利用分散式制造网络，在促进当地经济的同时，确保更多的生态和伦理生产。

metaplas was developed with the aim of creating a material system that unifies design, materiality, structural requirements, and fabrication through digital tools. the students also focus on utilizing a decentralized fabrication network, ensuring more ecological and ethical production while boosting local economies.

从广泛的材料研究开始，两种可回收的热塑性塑料——刚性PLA和柔性TPU——被确定为具有实现可折叠多材料面板的潜力。这个面板是3d打印的平面，并通过一个集成的图形系统制成三维。

beginning with extensive material research, two recyclable thermoplastics — rigid PLA and flexible TPU — were identified for their potential to achieve a foldable multi-material panel. this panel is 3D-printed flat and made three-dimensional through an integrated patterning system.

通过在折叠之前进行结构分析的定制过程，折叠作为一种几何工具得到了加强。需要最多构造的地区褶皱最密集，而本质上是构造的地区则比较稀疏。折叠是通过电缆系统和夹锁机制，方便组装，拆卸和维护。

folding was enhanced as a geometric tool through a customized process involving structural analysis prior to folding. areas that require the most structure are densest in folds, while areas that are intrinsically structural are sparser. the folds are secured through a cable system and a clip-lock mechanism that eases assembly, disassembly, and maintenance.

进一步的研究是通过嵌入的微图案将热致变色塑料集成到多材料面板中。这实现了对室内空间照明温度的被动控制，从而改善室内舒适，同时包括方向感的符号照明。

further research has gone into integrating thermochromic plastics in the multi-material panel through an embedded micro-pattern. this achieves passive control over the lighting temperature of interior spaces, thereby improving indoor well-being while including semiotic lighting for a sense of directionality.

尤斯顿车站在伦敦的新天篷是metaplas的大型建筑场景。通过识别和绘制场地半径内分散的回收和3D打印设施，建立了分散式制造方法。这些设施带动了当地经济，打破了传统集中生产造成的经济位移和两极分化

euston station’s new canopy in london is the large-scale architectural scenario for metaplas. a decentralized fabrication approach is established by identifying and mapping scattered recycling and 3D printing facilities within a radius from the site. the panels are fabricated in these facilities, thereby boosting the local economy and breaking the economic displacement and polarization caused by traditional centralized productions
