Taking inspiration from the craft of Alvar Aalto and Mies van der Rohe, the research looks to utilise emerging technologies within construction and architecture to generate lightweight, elegant and rigid structural members.

 

Modern production technology for timber products offers new possibilities within this field, where the production process of glue laminated products such as LVL invites sculpting to be a part of the process.

​

Based on the mantra “Low Tech / High Craft”, an approach visible throughout Alvar and Mies work with component design, the subdivision of individual members are expressed, accommodating the crossing of members and installations.
