Description

This proposal is Polyhedral Structures Laboratory’s response to the inventory-constrained design call by Eventscape. This design research proposal intends to provide a solution to effectively use the existing black locust wood stock and turn it into a functional architectural system. In addition, we propose a methodology to minimize waste and preprocessing of the material and suggest a solution that can maximize its performance as a structural system or canopy. These objectives will be achieved using an intelligent structural geometry combined with an effective tectonic strategy using computational and structural design methods.
