Lecture at ETH Zürich

9.5.2019, Zürich: DTC will contribute a lecture and two models to the Exhibition “wood joints” at ETH Zurich.

Wood Joints: Expression of Tectonic Culture

Wood joints reflect the different building cultures in timber construction. They are shaped by climate and material, but also by aesthetic values. An exhibition of the material collection in the Department of Architecture at ETH Zurich shows traditional, pure wood connections from Europe and the Anglo-Saxon area, as well as from China and Japan. It also shows how wood joints are used in current and future construction projects.

The DTC group is an interdisciplinary team of architects, structural engineers and computer scientists. We are exploring, researching and teaching innovative architecture and structural systems with wood and engineered wood products, enabled by digital technology and computational methods. A major research aim is to use digital design and production methods for more efficient structures, using less material thanks to smart geometry , as well as innovative rapid assembly for simple, fast and precise construction processes.
