Exploration and Understanding Wood

Understanding wood and its qualities was the focus of the entire studio. We first looked into kerfing on wood, which gave it the ability to bend, and we used this to create various modules. We learned about various joineries as a result of the process. Additionally, a structure was designed taking into account all the parameters using this module. The structure's various stresses and deflections were calculated using the Staad software. This analysis assisted in changing the design while keeping stability in mind. A variety of prototype models were created to assist in understanding.
