Complex form in timber

Published:03 August 2009Publication History

ABSTRACT

The advent of digital fabrication technologies has opened the doors to ever-more-complex shapes in architecture. Computer-controlled mills, drills, and cutters are used to transfer the principles of mass customization to the building industry. Those CNC tools can produce thousands of individual components almost at the cost of mass production, allowing construction of complex curved shapes within reasonable budgets.
