By exploring the hitherto unused potential of wood as a construction material, this book provides an exciting and inspiring outlook on a new generation of timber buildings.

Conception architecturale et dimensionnement numérique

Yves Weinand (éd.)

IBOIS, the wood laboratory of the EPFL Lausanne, is testing the production of origami structures, ribbed shells, fabric structures and curved panels using digital calculation and computer-aided processing methods. The research results are ­tested in prototypes, which demonstrate the p ­ otential applications in large-scale timber buildings.
