본 연구의 주목적은 공간그리드의 조형요소로서 3차원 유닛의 역할과 구성을 탐구하는 것이다. 따라서 공간그리드와 3차원 유닛의 상호관계와 역할, 유닛의 유형 및 구성방식과 이에 영향을 미치는 요인들이 파악된다. 또한 각각의 형태적 특성 및 조합이 공간그리드 전체의 형상에서 드러내는 효과를 확인하여 전반적인 형태구성의 틀을 제시하고자 한다.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the functions and formations of the component units as aesthetic components in the spatial grid. The main subject covered here is the presentation of the morphological method of shaping spatial grid by application of 3-dimensional units satisfying the suitable form of polyhedra, tensegrity and hybrid structure. In accordance with the subject, the definition of the spatial grid and 3-dimensional nit, the relationship between them, and then the functions of those units are reviewed. And the formations of polyhedral units, tensegrity units and hybrid units are generated by means of the modules of the simplest type or pattern. And also the overall appearance of the spatial grid shaped by several basic methods in which one unit can be joined to another and arranged are depicted.
