Steam-Bent Wood Lattice Morphology Bending solid wood is a traditional woodworking technique. As compared to additive or subtractive fabrication techniques, this forming process has considerable advantages for producing curved wooden parts: bending wood is materially...
Differentiated Wood Lattice Shell Until today, the geometry of lattice shells derived through form finding processes has been based on the bending behavior of wooden elements with a uniform cross section. The first research objective of this project was to extend the...
Intersective Laminates The ambitions of this project were two-fold: first, to demonstrate how a very thin engineered surface of wood veneer could span unsupported thanks to its new-found stiffness, and second, to explore how the spontaneous performative responses of...
Microstructural Manipulations This research project aimed at developing a computational design process based on a continuous information flow from scanning the individual anatomical features of wood pieces to the eventual digital fabrication. The project consists of...
Multi-scalar Woven Wood Structure This project examines the relationship between the digital and the physical in regards to woven surfaces, defining a set of parameters that take into account the material properties. The process for this project looked at woven...
The goal of this project was to use timber veneer as a starting point in order to develop a system which is based on material-specific properties and thus enables a high degree of morphological adaptation responding to external conditions. The design process was...
