Abstract：This article introduces a digital architecture design and construction practice in the Architectural Experience Practical Course of the School of Architecture, Tsinghua University. The author and 33 students accomplishes design and construction of an experimental pavilion within 2 weeks. The potential of structural form innovation within the context of digital architecture is explored. Through the process of digital design, structural simulation, digital fabrication and construction, a pavilion consists of 60 triangular wood plates and 201 steel hinges has been constructed. This article introduces the design concept and whole process of design and construction of the project, and summaries experiences achieved through the process.
