Exploring Embedded Design Systems within Natural Tree Formations

invisble.tree is a research project to establish the novel potential of timber and its anisotropic properties by exploring embedded design systems within natural tree formations; critically interogating both synthetic and organic materiality will help in outlining the inherent design aesthetic of tree formations. The proposal will also seek to theorise and catalogue the information of radical construction methodology using the state of the art technologies.

Through the cosmogramme exploration, I intend to map out categorically the broad themes related to timber and its properties being explored in the thesis.

.Shamanistic vs Muggle approach to wood log constructions

Here the intent is to map the scope of the thesis on a gradient scale of shamanistic projects like fabtreehab to more traditional/muggle construction processes used at 77wadeavenue. This helps in laying out the range in use while constructing with timber showcasing both versatility and strength properties. This provides a great toolkit for designers to rethink the potential of timber in construction.
