The intention of this project was to extend an exploration of building with wood, its unique characteristics as a material, and the use of wood joinery techniques. The result is a building system based on modular pieces of plywood joined by way of both compression and tension and an overlapping/underlapping method of attachment. Originally born from a studio project lead by AnnaLisa Meyboom, students were instructed to explore different wood products and methods of joining inspired by traditional knowledge and augmented by the application of new fabrication technologies and simulated modeling software.
