Optimized generation of non-standard wood structures based on native irregular components

Often, “new structuralism” and “non-standard” refer to various ways of connecting matter and form (Nilsson 2008). Most of the current works are based on design processes dealing with free surfaces to produce at the end irregular structural components (Rolvink 2010). Those works consider the structural component as a result of the intersection of different fields: architectural morphology, structural mechanic, material resistance and fabrication technologies (Oxman 2010). The non-standard aspect of those realizations is considered as an a priori characterizing the resulting building.
