Description
The aim of this research project is to develop co-design methods, which integrate architectural, structural and building physics criteria in feedback with novel fabrication and construction possibilities to achieve a wood building system that overcomes transportation limitations through on-site modular robotic fabrication processes. The building system is based on standard timber-materials (GLT, CLT, etc.) and offers open-purpose, multi-functional and geometrically bespoke column, wall and ceiling elements achieving bi-axial, variable span and structurally optimized solutions using on-site / off-site additive and subtractive manufacturing processes.
