Curved Folded Plate Timber Structures

Yves Weinand, Hans Ulrich Buri, Ivo Stotz

This work investigates the development of a Curved Origami Prototype made with timber panels. In the last fifteen years the timber industry has developed new, large size, timber panels. Composition and dimensions of these panels and the possibility of mill ...
