3DWoodWind
Modular construction system for timber
The 3DWoodWind Research Prototype demonstrates a new generation of additive technologies in timber construction: robotic winding processes for material-efficient lightweight components. An AI-controlled design logic enables the intelligent combination of modular components into multi-storey structures, which can serve as a substitute for concrete or steel systems in the future thanks to their high performance. The project demonstrates the interplay of intelligent design processes in conjunction with sustainability and structural planning through to robot-assisted construction technology.
Company/Institution
Universität Kassel / FB06 ASL / FG EDEK
The department of “Experimental and Digital Design and Construction" is dedicated to the research and teaching of computational design and fabrication processes in architecture, which are developed integrating and collaborating with the adjacent fields of construction, statics and design. Material properties, structural calculations, and fabrication technology are directly incorporated into the design process via digital design logic. The relationship and interactions between formal, spatial, structural and sustainable design parameters are implemented in algorithmic design strategies.
