The studio focuses on researching material components and structural systems that are based on dynamic bending and twisting of industrial timber - LVL.
 

The course is divided into two parts. In the first half, students learned about the behavior of flexible LVL structures by working with physical scale models. The exploration methods are both manual and computer based. Students were introduced to parametric modeling and digital fabrication during this part of the course. In the second half, students designed a pavilion based on the findings from the first part, expressing the novel tectonics and structure as space.
