This lecture presents the design methodology of a curved folded pavilion made with prefabricated, curved, cross-laminated timber panels inspired by origami folded geometries. The architectural design is based on curved folding techniques and integrated wood-wood connections developed at IBOIS, EPFL, with a focus on structural stability and mechanical rotation. The pavilion, showcased at an exhibition in Switzerland, features a span of 13.5 meters and 7-millimeter thick CLT panels, with innovative wood-wood connections and a production process involving curved panels. The construction process involved executing drawings, structural assessments, and implementing wood-wood connections to ensure stability and deformation control.
