Design of Integrally-Attached Timber Plate Structures outlines a
new design methodology for digitally fabricated spatial timber
plate structures, presented with examples from recent construction
projects. It proposes an innovative and sustainable design
methodology, algorithmic geometry processing, structural
optimization, and digital fabrication; technology transfer and
construction are formulated and widely discussed. The methodology
relies on integral mechanical attachment whereby the connection
between timber plates is established solely through geometric
manipulation, without additional connectors, such as nails, screws,
dowels, adhesives, or welding. The transdisciplinary design
framework for spatial timber plate structures brings together
digital architecture, computer science, and structural engineering,
covering parametric modeling and architectural computational
design, geometry exploration, the digital fabrication assembly of
engineered timber panels, numerical simulations, mechanical
characterization, design optimization, and performance improvement.
The method is demonstrated through different prototypes, physical
models, and three build examples, focusing specifically on the
design of the timber-plate roof structure of 23 large span arches
called the Annen Headquarters in Luxembourg. This is useful for the
architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sector and shows
how new structural optimization processes can be reinvented through
geometrical adaptions to control global and local geometries of
complex structures. This text is ideal for structural engineering
professionals and architects in both industry and academia, and
construction companies.
