The current trend in Architecture is to create light weight but stable structures of large heights with limited resources. “The idea oscillates between stability and minimalism” The project began with the investigation of the various types of possibilities in wooden joineries. It was amusing to discover the potential of 3mm thick plywood and the innumerable [...]

Triangulated
The concept of the tower was to experiment with the flexibility of the wood and its thresholds of bending as the main tension force. The whole structure is assembled of equal triangular bending modules. The modules are using the orientation of the wood’s fibers to enable small radii. The bending’s direction is perpendicular to the [...]

GROUP 14 _ PENTAPUS
Our main idea is to explore the potentiality and limitations that the material could achieve, through theoretical study and various practical tests. We enclose our research in 5 key points that have helped us to work with a scientific method through this research: 1. FLEXURE – TORSION 2. HEIGHT 3. TAPERING 4. STRIPES 5. ZIPPER [...]
