An Application of Song-era Covered Bridge Construction Techniques in Modern Wooden Furniture Design. Inspired by research on the carpentry-based construction techniques for Song-era wooden arch covered bridges, the “Woven Wooden Arch” furniture series is a translation of the traditional Chinese carpentry-based covered bridge, particularly of its construction techniques and structural forms, using modern design languages, which facilitates morphological and functional transformations that convert the wooden megastructures into a down-scaled modern joinery. In other words, the series is a take on modern design language from the perspectives of Song Dynasty architecture, as well as an exploration of how one can adapt the construction forms in such traditional carpentry-based wooden megastructures as the covered bridges into modern designs, thereby passing down the carpentry-based construction principles.

The structural form and construction techniques of woven wooden arch covered bridges have been passed down since the Song Dynasty. However, with the development of time, this traditional craft has become incompatible with contemporary lifestyles, making it increasingly challenging to preserve the artistry and cultural heritage of these arch bridges. It is necessary to move beyond traditional preservation methods and find an innovative approach that caters to the demands of the modern era.The key lies in merging the traditional culture, structural forms, and construction techniques of woven wooden arch covered bridges with contemporary lifestyles and modern products through innovative integration. This approach will create entirely new products and ways of living, allowing traditional culture to adapt to the current era and ensuring its continued inheritance through a modern medium.

一次宋式营造技艺在现代木作家具设计中的转译应用实验。 “编木拱”系列家具以宋式廊桥营造技艺的研究为基础，将廊桥大木作的营造技艺和结构形式以现代的设计语言重新转译，完成从传统大木作到现代小木作形式与功能上的转变，从宋代建筑学的角度解读现代设计语言，探索传统廊桥大木作营造形式在现代设计中的运用方法，传承传统大木作营造理念。 家具的整体形式参照木拱廊桥的编织结构，并依据家具尺度以及现代设计的语言将编木拱结构进行转译，使编木拱结构适应现代家具的功能与结构需求。不仅从形式与工艺上，也从标准化、适应性和建造性等方面，探索将中国传统大木作营造形式应用于现代家具设计的可能性。 编木拱廊桥的结构形式与营造技艺从宋代传承至今，但随着时代的发展，该传统技艺无法适应当下的生活方式，使廊桥技艺与文化的传承变得越来越困难。不能局限于传统的传承方式，而是需要找到一种适应当代的创新方式，将编木拱廊桥的传统文化、结构形式、营造技与当代生活方式和现代产品进行融合创新，形成全新的产品与生活方式，使传统文化适应当前这个时代，以一种现代的载体形式传承下去。
