This lecture explores a new generation of structures where the traditional separation between primary and secondary elements disappears, showcasing a structural thinking applied to building envelopes. It demonstrates how mechanical optimization processes can be integrated into architectural design, allowing for a better distribution of internal forces through wood-wood connections and digital fabrication, ultimately emphasizing the importance of structural engineers in contemporary architectural construction systems.
