Timber Technologies
Today’s timber construction combines the emerging technologies of digital fabrication with a recent renaissance in traditional techniques. Because of the idiosyncrasies of wood as a material, we believe that physical understanding – engendered through hands-on experience – is essential in leveraging the best of timber, even when processes are devolved to computer controlled machining.
Wood can be deployed in a wide range of spatial-structural configurations, each exploiting timber’s particular material properties. This allows a richness of application across building types, matching structural action to the spatial needs of accommodation, shelter and delight.
