The paper illustrates the results of an interdisciplinary work flow concerning the design and construction of a prefabricated structure using poplar plywood. The study, promoted by Politecnico and University of Torino, is related to the development of a local wood resource focussing on the most traditional and important panel in Italy which, from a...

Today, on one hand while the traditional design process continues, on the other hand, digital design systems along with advances in computer technologies continue to present designers with new and effective ideas. Parametric design is preferred by designers for its relationality, contributing towards versatility, ensuring flexibility, simplifying d...
The Telescopic Tubular Mast (TTM) has excellent performance and is widely used in aerospace. Reasonable parameter design and optimization can shorten development cycle and improve performance for TTM. This paper designed a TTM driven by the bistable carbon reeled composite boom. The equivalent model of the TTM is established and simulated, which ca...
Although parametric modelling and digital design tools have become ubiquitous in digital design, there is a limited understanding of how designers apply them in their design processes (Yu et al., 2014). This paper looks at the use of GHShot versioning tool developed by the authors (Cristie & Joyce, 2018; 2019) used to capture and track changes and...
One of the design challenges that architects and designers encounter during the creation and design stage of structural concepts is the parametric optimization of an architectural object's form. It is a very time-consuming and difficult process to evaluate a building's energy performance as a design consideration in the early design stages. To solv...
Neste artigo, pretende-se identificar se e como os métodos de simulação e fabricação digitais podem dinamizar o entendimento de relações entre arte, design e artesanato. Em primeiro lugar, apresentaremos a noção de objectile de Deleuze e Cache em analogia à noção de algoritmo computacional, que incorpora a variabilidade e a singularidade na geração...

... Apart from exploring the innovative designs of dendriforms in academia that mainly possess the structural interests, students and researchers from WoodLab in Politecnico di Torino has paid principal attention to esthetic interests in designing a fractal-like natural forest in the workshop project of 'Monalisa Pavilion' through the algorithmic arrangement of a series of timber-made curved branching structures composed of layered poplar plywood (Figure 29). In this design approach, the team had specifically used Iterated Function System (IFS) as an algorithmic code to produce fractal branches (Figure 29b) (Callegari et al., 2013). This team has paid additional but a significant attention to deal with the mechanical properties of the poplar plywood in bending the timber branches, connected by metal screws at the joints, for achieving more organic and natural appearance, (Figure 29b) thus understanding the stress behavior of wood fibers of curved branches. ...

The shapes of trees are complex and fractal-like, and they have a set of physical, mechanical and biological functions. The relation between them always draws attention of human beings throughout history and, focusing on the relation between shape and structural strength, architects have designed a number of treelike structures, referred as dendriforms. The replication and adoption of the treelike patterns for constructing architectural structures have been varied in different time periods based on the existing and advanced knowledge and available technologies. This paper, by briefly discussing the biological functions and the mechanical properties of trees with regard to their shapes, overviews and investigates the chronological evolution and advancements of dendriform and arboreal structures in architecture referring to some important historical as well as contemporary examples.
