媒体实验室的内里·奥克斯曼,麻省理工2010届博士生,希望设计师们不止要想象出新产品,还要改变这些产品的制作方式。在麻省理工学院媒体实验室底楼,一个最不寻常的蚕茧正在织建中。它高达数英尺,由32个多边形丝线块组成。一台电脑控制的机器布设了这些丝线块,然后把它们手工缝成一个三维、中空的脚手架。虽然它由多个丝块拼成,但它所基于的设计使用了一条单一的线编 Neri Oxman at the Media Lab, a Ph.D. candidate at MIT 2010, wants designers to not only imagine new products, but how they are made. On the ground floor of MIT Media Lab, one of the most unusual cocoons is under construction. It is up to several feet and consists of 32 polygonal wire blocks. A computer-controlled machine drafts the thread blocks and sews them into a three-dimensional, hollow scaffolding. Although it is made up of multiple pieces of silk, the design on which it is based uses a single line
