Advanced Robotic Fabriction:
Sourced Wood
The project aims to utilize waste wood in constructions and reshape them as falsework structures.
We see that there is an opportunity to advance the recycling of materials used in the construction industry. Wood is often used in temporary structural applications, because of its versatility and possibility of being re-shaped.
Can we set up a system that collects and extends the lifetime of surplus material existing in and around constructions sites? In consideration of sustainable buildings, closing life cycle loops becomes more and more important. Up to now reuse and recycling is taken rarely into account in building processes. With rising consumption of wood for energetic use recycling of material becomes more important.
