Exploring the unique properties of timber and the fabrication methods associated with it, enabling us to work with complex geometries and find appropriate strategies to realize them.
We started out looking at different situations to apply our geometry and potentially make a gapahuk (a building made of wooden materials, originally intended for emergency accommodation), forest shelter.
Furthermore we would like to challenge ourselves by selecting a geometry that would make us solve the design problem of multidimensional bending.
The leaf became an inspiration as we decided to aim for organic and flowing shapes that will blend seamlessly into the surrounding nature.
