新代尔夫特蓝(New Delft Blue)是位于历史悠久的荷兰城市代尔夫特的一个开创性项目，由Studio RAP设计并进行3D打印。这个项目重新诠释了代尔夫特蓝瓷器世界闻名的装饰特质和设计词汇。通过融合3D粘土打印、计算设计和工匠釉炼，新代尔夫特蓝希望展现21世纪陶瓷装饰的新建筑潜力。 New Delft Blue is a pioneering project in the historic Dutch city Delft, designed and 3D printed by Studio RAP. This project reinterprets the world-famous decorative qualities and design vocabulary of Delft Blue porcelain. By fusing 3D clay printing, computational design, and artisanal glazing, New Delft Blue hopes to unfold a new architectural potential of ceramic ornamentation of the 21st century.

PoortMeesters住宅楼的郁郁葱葱的共用庭院是Nieuw Delft大规模城市改造项目的一部分，被两个宽大的入口门所环绕
。这些大门大约宽四米，高八米，深十二米，覆盖着一个宽阔的公共楼梯。这些大门象征着代尔夫特作为一个中世纪贸易城市，拥有众多城门，并为路人提供了一瞥楼内田园生活的机会。
The lush communal courtyard of the PoortMeesters residential building block, which is part of the large-scale urban redevelopment Nieuw Delft, is framed by two large entry gates. The gates, roughly four metres wide, eight metres high and twelve metres deep, cover a large public staircase. These gates refer to Delft as a mediaeval trading city with its many city gates and provide passers-by with a glimpse of the idyllic life going on inside.
新代尔夫特蓝的大门从传统的代尔夫特蓝瓷器上汲取灵感。这些瓷盘的设计词汇几个世纪以来发生了根本性变化，从模仿中国和日本东方设计到制作当代荷兰设计。然而，装饰性、自然灵感的框架和田园般的场景之间的差异是一个反复出现的特征。因此，这种区分成为新代尔夫特蓝设计的起点，其中田园般的场景是不断变幻的庭院生活，而大门则作为一个三维框架，具有经过算法设计的自然灵感图案，引导人们从公共空间到半公共庭院。
The New Delft Blue gates take their inspiration from traditional Delft Blue porcelain plates. The design vocabulary of these plates has changed radically over the centuries from copying Chinese and Japanese Oriental designs to making contemporary Dutch designs. The differentiation between a decorative, nature inspired frame and idyllic scene, however, has been a recurring trait. As such, this division is the starting point for the New Delft Blue design, where the idyllic scene is the ever-changing courtyard life while the gates stand as a three-dimensional frame with algorithmically designed nature inspired patterns that guide people from the public space to the semi-public courtyard.
覆盖这两道大门的约3000块独特陶瓷砖经过3D打印，这一技术能够创造出丰富而独特的当代陶瓷品。在3D图案设计中采用算法的方法时，考虑到了一些制造约束条件，例如最大悬挑、宽度、高度和深度、收缩以及内部支撑结构。当砖瓦的几何形状被生成时，这些条件被纳入考虑。由于这些砖瓦是通过3D打印而成的，对它们的形状进行变化能够以富有诗意的方式"用形状作画"。
The approximately 3000 unique ceramic tiles that cover the two gates are 3D printed, allowing for the
creation of contemporary ceramics that are both rich and unique. Using an algorithmic approach to 3D pattern design, certain manufacturing constraints—maximum overhang, width, height and depth,
shrinkage and internal support structure—were taken into account when the geometry of the tiles was generated. Because the tiles were 3D printed, applying variations to their shapes allowed for poetic ways of ‘painting with shapes’.
通过涂抹透明的蓝色流动釉，可以在瓷砖的凸起部分（山地）创造出浅蓝色，同时在凹陷（山谷）部分形成深蓝色的釉池，使蓝色的色调之间呈现平滑的过渡。深蓝的色彩反映了与代尔夫特蓝瓷器和周围运河的联系，并与建筑物土色调的砖墙形成了惬意的对比。
This is done by applying a transparent blue runny glaze that creates on the convex portions of the tiles (the hills) a light blue colour while allowing for deep blue glaze pools in the concave (valley) areas of the tiles, creating smooth transitions between hues of blue. The deep blue colour reflects the connection to Delft Blue porcelain and the surrounding canals, and it provides a pleasing contrast to the earth-toned brickwork of the building.
将所有这些内容结合在一起，该项目以现代方式体现了代尔夫特独特的身份，通过以蓝色为主题的、受自然启发的、经由算法设计的图案，呼应了其历史，并通过采用尖端设计和3D打印技术，将今日的代尔夫特作为知识之城呈现在人们眼前。
Combining this all together the project embodies the unique identity of Delft in a contemporary way, by referring to its history with its algorithmically designed nature inspired patterns in blue and referring to Delft of today as the city of knowledge by using cutting-edge design and 3D printing technology.
