  • Teaching interdisciplinary timber design: design and manufacturing of organic-shape constructions
    Kitek Kuzman, Manja ; Kariž, Mirko
    Our field of research covers the areas of Architecture, Structural Engineering and Wood Science. We are primarily interested in Advanced Structural Systems and their influence on Architecture. Our ... research, in addition to technical and architectural aspects, investigates sustainable aspects such as design for disassembly, adaptability, and reuse. Some study cases will be presented, such as wooden constructions of organic shapes. These were mostly handmade in the past; each piece being almost unique, since the manufacturing processes did not allow repeatability and the production of a large quantity of the same products. Today, 3D modelling software leads to a completely different perspective in wooden furniture design and production. It enables the modelling of any kind of shape, based on ideas, natural shapes, even 3D-scanned existing shapes, etc. Furthermore, the prototypes can be 3D printed. This means that a visual presentation of the designed form is a reality. Based on the printed forms, virtual models can be improved, leading to the final, sophisticated model. Additionally, during the design process the best construction details can be made to improve the material efficiency and the manufacturing time. The final product can then be made on a CNC machine, enabling reproduction of the same product with the desired shape in the chosen quantities.
