The aim of our research is to develop a powerful tool for the generation and the fabrication of free-form architecture. Within the last years, architectural design has shown great interest in the design of new and complex geometries, commonly known as free ...
In recent years, the necessity of using renewable resources and sustainable solutions in the building sector has become obvious, and interest in timber as a building material has revived. Novel timber-derived products, such as massif block panels, have eme ...
This book examines experimental design methodologies in the field of architecture and their implementation in academic settings. Theoretical considerations by guest essayists and numerous examples of conceptual designs complement our holistic approach to t ...
The research being undertaken in the EPFL’s Timber Construction Laboratory aims to question in depth the relationship between engineering sciences and architectural conception. The IBOIS is firmly ingrained in the Institute of Structures, as well as being ...
Within the last years, architectural design has shown great interest in the design of new and complex geometries, commonly known as 'free-form' architecture. The lack of constructive feasibility of the designed architectural objects led us to consider disc ...
Thin-shell and rod theory using discrete mechanics applied to structures in civil engineering. The aim is to apply structure preserving algorithms to concrete problems in construction. The major objectives of this interdisciplinary work is the search and t ...
In conjunction with Hans-Ulrich Buri’s research, this thesis project addresses the engineering part of the folded Origami structures. The material employed for this type of structure is not necessarily defined. Therefore metal, concrete and timber realisat ...
The Bureau d’Etudes Weinand worked on several innovative timber structures over the past three years. Those buildings apply cross laminated timber panels in an architecturally and structural innovative and creative manner. This presentation will point out ...
This research proposes new methods to generate rapidly complex folded plate structures that can be built with cross laminated timber panels. Composition and dimensions of these panels as well as the possibility to mill them by Computer Numerically Controll ...
In the early 90th the IBOIS-EPFL developed a new kind of shell structure. The ribs were made with simple planks which are waved together to build a spacial ribbed shell. The first application was the Polydome in 1993, and the most fascinating has been the ...
