Zippered Wood: Rethinking How We Build

About this event

What happens when computational design intersects with construction-grade lumber and contemporary digital workflows?  Digital ideas leave the screen and become full-scale physical structures. Discover how researchers are using accessible tools to rethink what’s possible with wood.  Join us on August 6th from 5:30-6:30 PM in IKB 301 for an EML Workshop featuring researchers from SALA’s HiLo Lab presenting Zippered Wood, an ongoing research project exploring how computational design, conventional construction methods, and accessible fabrication tools can be combined to create sophisticated approaches to timber design and fabrication.  Through built projects, prototypes, and demonstrations, the team will trace the project’s evolution from digital models to full-scale physical assemblies while exploring how contemporary digital workflows can expand the possibilities of architectural design. 🔗 RSVP through the link: https://ubc.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6xwMdVnHHFgsNj8
