A groundbreaking computational approach is revolutionizing how irregular wood elements are repurposed into building materials. The method combines 3D scanning, algorithmic design, and mixed reality assembly with innovative plastic joinery techniques.
Breakthrough in Sustainable Construction
Researchers have developed an innovative computational workflow that transforms irregular wood waste into viable building components, according to reports in Scientific Reports. The method addresses the significant underutilization of unprocessed logs, forks, and branches in sustainable building design and construction, sources indicate. Traditional construction methods often discard these complex geometric elements due to reconfiguration challenges, leading to substantial material waste.
