ABSTRACT
This research investigates anisotropic and highly inhomogeneous wood elements to develop new knowledge and methods for analysis, design and fabrication with complex biomaterials. Focus is placed on advanced density analysis by computer vision and computational methods, to identify structural areas for connectors between parts that allow advanced assemblies of elements, such as shingle façade systems. The studies demonstrate how materials with high density variance can be understood and used for future wood-based architectures.
