DIGITAL XYLOPHAGY
This project is an introduction to engineered timber and fluid digital design workflows between design, rationalization, and fabrication. The goal was to produce a laminated timber assembly with machined connection details, using various digital tools in order to then aggregate the different assemblies into a predefined sculptural composition. Using scripting and parametric tools we moved beyond simple form generation and into planning and design rationalization to gain a deeper understanding of timber and timber laminates and to gain a solid grasp of data management and logistics of project organization.
