Abstract:
Timber gridshells offer structural efficiency, use of renewable materials, and freeform, lightweight construction. However, their potential for sustainable building solutions is often hampered by the complexity of design, fabrication, and assembly. Various strategies have been developed and tested in research and practice to create the curved geometry of individual elements and grids. These strategies include the individual bending and coupling of lamellas, complete robotic prefabrication of cur...     »
