旧金山以其海湾著称。它在陆地和太平洋之间的过渡是不断变化的，曾经满是泥滩的海岸线经过长时间的人工干预，现在大部分已经变成硬质岸线，海堤、码头、码头和码头已经建成。近年在旧金山东部海滨，商业航运正逐渐淡出，旅游、零售和商业办公场所逐渐取代航运的功能。

San Francisco is defined by its bay. Its transitions between land and the Pacific Ocean are constantly changing. What was once mudflats is largely hardscape now, as sea-walls, piers, docks, and wharfs have been built to accommodate seafaring. On San Francisco’s eastern waterfront, commercial shipping is gradually giving way to tourism,retail, and commercial offices.

《旧金山海湾步道倡议》(San Francisco Bay Trail initiative)致力于将海滨沿线的公共开放空间连接起来。设计单位Surfacedesign与领先的三维设计软件公司Autodesk合作，为这个开放空间网络创建了一个项目，在Embarcadero的一个边缘码头和探索博物馆附近的停车场打造了一个开放的空间。

The San Francisco Bay Trail initiative endeavors to connect public open spaces along the waterfront. Landscape architecture firm Surfacedesign teamed with leading 3D-design software company Autodesk to create a project for this open-space network. The parking lot at a marginal wharf at The Embarcadero and near the Exploratorium educational attraction served as the space.

通过两个公司的合作，项目得以落地，该项目在娱乐和教育上促进了海湾的生态。同时，Surfacedesign和Autodesk的合作也为景观设计师提供了探索数字化制造的机会：Surfacedesign使用Autodesk设计软件，而Barnacles项目也利用了数控加工技术。为了进行研究，ASLA的项目经理Michal Kapitulnik研究了附着在该地区码头、码头和海堤上的藤壶的几何聚集。藤壶装置的长椅来源于抽象的甲壳类结构，在装置中创造了多个“房间”，供人们坐下、聚集和玩耍。更大的空间则用于举办活动和互动展览，LED条被添加到混凝土长椅上用于夜间照明。

The Barnacles at Pier 9 is the result. The project recreationally and educationally celebrates the Bay’s ecology. The collaboration between Surfacedesign and Autodesk also provided the landscape architects an opportunity to explore digital manufacturing: Surfacedesign uses Autodesk design software, and The Barnacles project also utilized CNC fabrication. For research, project Manager Michal Kapitulnik, ASLA, studied the geometric clusterings of the barnacles that cling to the area’s piers, dock, and seawalls. Benches for The Barnacles installation derive from abstracted crustacean formations, creating multiple “rooms” within the installation for people to sit, gather, and play. Larger spaces allow for events and interactive exhibits. LED strips were added to the concrete benches for nighttime illumination.

设计团队通过一系列的纸质模型开始研究，最终得出了项目上的三维藤壶长椅。这些模型允许探索多个藤壶的规模和它们在整个场地的聚集之间的关系，最终3D数字模型的长椅的主要平面形式被创建。然后，制作人员将数字模型进行审查，最终得出施工的可能性。

The design team developed the three-dimensional barnacle benches through a series of paper maquettes. These models allowed exploration of relationships between the scale of the multiple barnacles and their clusterings across the site. Ultimately, 3D digital models of the benches’ main planar forms were created. The fabricators then took the digital models and refined the form, vetting the angles for constructability.

一旦设置好主要的几何形状，设计团队就开始将纹理磨入藤壶的表面。数控雕刻的精度允许直接将数字模型转换为预制混凝土的物理模板。CAD和3D打印也被用来制作藤壶的教育展示，用来纪念海湾潮间带的生态和历史，以及藤壶和人类相关的社会群体。

Once the main geometry was set, the design team worked to mill textures into the barnacles’ surfaces. The precision of a CNC router allows for a direct translation of the digital model into physical formwork for the pre-cast concrete. The end result is a surface texture that softens the rigidity of the facets. CAD and 3D printing were also used to create The Barnacles’ educational displays, which celebrate the ecology and history of the Bay’s intertidal zones and correlate social groupings of barnacles and humans.

就像他们的灵感来自甲壳类，项目为个人、小群体、和大社区集群创造一系列多尺度的灵活空间。

Like the crustacean they are inspired by, The Barnacles at Pier 9 are meant to create a series of multi-scaled flexible spaces for individuals, small groups, and large communities to cluster.
