Abstract
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.
