Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If conventional sequential construction processes are used, then building stability is achieved, but construction time and cost increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The building is divided into modular assembly units that can be independently manufactured and then quickly assembled. Each assembly unit contains integrated polygonal surface parts, connecting parts, and coupling protrusions that form a self-contained structural module, eliminating the need for sequential construction processes while maintaining building stability.
Solution Approach 2:
Assembly units are pre-manufactured with all necessary structural components (polygonal surface parts, connecting parts, coupling protrusions) before delivery to the construction site. This preliminary preparation allows for rapid on-site assembly without requiring time-consuming sequential construction processes.
2Strength
If conventional sequential construction processes are used, then structural integrity is achieved, but labor requirements and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple construction components (polygonal surface parts, connecting parts, coupling protrusions) are merged into a single integrated assembly unit. This consolidation simplifies the construction process by reducing the number of separate operations needed while maintaining structural integrity through the integrated design.
Solution Approach 2:
The assembly units are designed with universal coupling mechanisms that can be assembled in various configurations. The coupling protrusions and polygonal surface parts can be combined in different arrangements to create diverse building structures, reducing the need for multiple specialized construction processes.
3Quantity of substance
If repetitive construction processes are used, then building completeness is achieved, but quality uniformity becomes difficult to maintain
Solution Approach 1:
The assembly units are designed with standardized parameters for coupling protrusions and polygonal surface parts that can be consistently manufactured. By maintaining fixed geometric parameters and coupling mechanisms, quality uniformity is ensured across multiple units while allowing for flexible quantity and configuration to achieve building completeness.

AI summary
Provided is an assembly unit including 3×N (here, N is a natural number) number of polygonal surface parts, which extend in a vertical direction and have flat surfaces, connecting parts connecting end portions, which are adjacent to each other, of end portions of each of the polygonal surface parts, and coupling protrusions respectively protruding from the polygonal surface parts in a horizontal direction that is perpendicular to the vertical direction. The three polygonal surface parts in a clockwise direction are defined as one set, and the coupling protrusions respectively have formation positions that sequentially increase in height within the one set in the vertical direction.
