Loop is a solid wood pavilion that adsorbs the moisture during night and evaporate it during hot summer days. Its panelling is warping in the sun and low relative humidity, thus supporting the circulation of humid air in its environment. Loop is a contribution to the Research by Design on Responsive Wood started by Michael Hensel and Achim Menges at the AA School of Architecture in 2005 and is a second prototype of the first author’s Environmental Summer Pavilions project that developed the previous one, pareSITE Pavilion, further. By spatial organisation of its panelling and the shape of the overall structure, we reached much higher performance. The design was accomplished in Grasshopper for Rhino 5 and digitally fabricated. The project is a result of a transdisciplinary, one semester lasting, studio course at the Faculty of Art and Architecture at the Technical University of Liberec and the Faculty of Forestry and Wood Sciences at the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague le...

The sheets, cut in a tangential section, interact with humidity by warping themselves, allowing air circulation for the evaporation in arid conditions.The design was accomplished in Grasshopper for Rhino in combination with Rhino and afterwards digitally fabricated.This interdisciplinary project involved students from the Architectural Institute in Prague (ARCHIP) and the students of the Faculty of Forestry and Wood Sciences at the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague (FLD CZU). The goal was to design and build a pavilion from a solid pine wood in order to analyse its material properties and reactions to the environment and to accommodate functions for reSITE festival. The design was prepared within half term studio course and completed in June 2013 on Karlovo Square in Prague where it hosted 1600 visitors during festival weekend.

The new Arpa research centre, currently under construction in Ferrara (Italy), represents an interesting example showing how composite wood panels and standard glulam elements can be combined to ensure structural efficiency and elegance. This building has a single storey structure with a complex, technological roofing system, it covers an area of about 3200 m 2 , and reaches a maximum height of 12.80 m. Its modular composition is obtained assembling multiple chimneys of different heights, equipped with built-in photovoltaic systems or with windows which can be automatically oriented according to specific day-lighting techniques. The final solution matches the design goals by solving geometrical complexity into an efficient manufacturing and assembling scheme. Every chimney is subdivided into standard composite wood elements, obtained combining a core timber frame with two stiffening OSB panels, while the remaining structural members are designed using standard glulam beams and columns.

In consideration of many concepts such as “sustainable, ecological, green, climate and environment-friendly, high performance, intelligent, passive, carbon-neutral buildings” the objective of the applications, becoming evident today, is to produce structures, making us respect and take care of the “nature” with reference to the risk of failure of future generations to survive. The objective of this study is to draw attention to the utility of wood, a renewable material, in this respect in sustainable, organic and ecological architectures, which have gained more importance nowadays, based on the increasing interest in natural life and use of natural materials in the world in recent years. In this regard, technical specifications of wooden materials are mentioned, wooden-material based several structures are analyzed and samples are provided thereof. Keywords: Sustainabilty, ecological architecture, wooden structures

Developable Wooden Surfaces for Lightweight Architecture: Bio-Dune Pavilion2019 •
This paper focuses on the implementation of a computational design and robotic fabrication method that integrates the elastic and hygroscopic behavior of wood as active drivers in the design process, using the material's differentiated characteristics as its main capacity. The project builds on previous work by the authors, furthering their research on the formal and performative transfer of such behaviors into informed architectural systems. Wood's fibrous structure, relatively low stiffness and high structural capacity are instrumentalized into self-forming mechanisms through conical elastic deformation, while the same organic makeup and corresponding hygro-scopic properties have also been programmed, formally articulated and integrated into a climate responsive architectural system. This research will be presented alongside a full-scale architectural project.
The paper illustrates the results of an interdisciplinary work flow concerning the design and construction of a prefabricated structure using poplar plywood. The study, promoted by Politecnico and University of Torino, is related to the development of a local wood resource focussing on the most traditional and important panel in Italy which, from a consolidated position in the furniture market, is now searching potential and innovative applications especially in the building sector, where the use of modern wooden materials is growing quickly. The Monalisa Wood Pavillon investigates the wood design issue from three main points of view. First, the structure is part of the promotion path of poplar plywood, conceptualizing its manufacturing process in an architectural project; then it highlights the role of technology by using an engineered veneer-based product with interesting properties; finally it explores the role of digital design in exploiting the potentialities of the material, i...
