本論文以自動成形為主題，探討自動成形中的可被預先編成機制，對形式設計進行編程設計。

以兩大機制貫串全論文：組合、開展。
組合：以類似於磁力的同極相斥、異極相吸之特性進行自動組合編程研究。開展：以折疊的操作形式，折痕、山折、谷折等，進行自動開展編程研究。並且透過研究所得之資料進行設計操作及演示。

本研究之旨趣在假定所設計的產物不透過人力的介入及無重力的環境之下，其本體藉由預先編程及對刺激反饋的特性(如磁力、通電)，從材料自動成形為裝置藝術或家俱、棚屋。

The essay is based on self-forming as an exploration of the pre-programmed mechanism to desgin a program.
There are two mechanisms throughout the whole thesis: Assembly and Folding.

Assembly: based on the concept of magnet/polar to do the self-program research.
Folding: operated by the folded form, like creases, mountain folds, valley folds, etc., to carry out the self-programming research.

And then, do the design operation based on the data and presentation acquired.

This is a study that assumed the product is not impacted by human and under no gravity situation, only with its own identity and characteristics of the pre-programmed stimulation feedback (such as magnetism, electricity), automatically forming into some material like installation art or furniture and shed.
