Beskrivelse
Description:The workshop focuses on the computational aspect of such construction system where geometric constraints has to be solved. Among others, the geometric pattern of facets plays a key role in the quality of discretization, planarization and more importantly generation of plates in the free-form segmented timber plate structures; accordingly, during this three-day workshop, the trivalent polyhedral patterns are deeply studied as the most efficient solution for plate generation for such structures with positive and negative surface curvatures. It is expected that the participants will gain basic knowledge of the timber plate construction systems, material systems, automated joinery, rapid and precise assembly, and will improve computational skills in developing modeling workflows consisting of form-finding, discretization, rationalization, joint generation, and fabrication data production. The acquired knowledge and skills would benefit research and practices in the timber plate construction systems.
Philosophy:
The workshop is derived from the extension of the work from our previous study on using digital technology to construct lightweight wood-only shell structures made from Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) production waste (offcuts) which are too small for the regular building applications (Robeller and Von Haaren. 2020). For the first time, these CLT offcuts were used as a high-quality timber plates, and turned into a segmented shell structure “Recycleshell”, by using algorithmically-generated form-fit wedge-edge connectors and wooden dowels. Inspired by such a research philosophy, this workshop aims to provide fundamental knowledge and essential computational skills for the design-to-assembly of lightweight segmented wood-only shell structures made of timber plates.
