Digital workflows for natural wood in constructions

This research challenges current linear processing methods
for standardised timber. The current industry does not leave room
for irregular shapes of naturally grown wood. This paper describes
a bespoke design and fabrication method that leverages these natural
irregularities of the wood. The customised development of a digital tool
allows the distribution of the non-standard material to form a structure
and the associated robotic machining processes of the individual logs.
This research seeks to motivate a more inclusive, diverse and sensitive
culture of processing and building with wood while exploring the unique
aesthetic qualities of non-standardised wood.
