AR-enabled circular construction of a computationally designed reclaimed wood shell structure

Year: 2024

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: The research presents a design-by-availability case study focusing on utilizing wood waste from secondary material streams in combination with augmented reality (AR) for complex three-dimensional assembly. It realized a double-curved shell structure using irregular reclaimed elements, seamlessly integrating digital design principles with manual craft skills. The research exemplifies a digital upcycling method for wood waste, turning small-scale wood scraps into more significant structural components. By integrating wood-nailing principles into a computational design framework and issuing assembly instructions through AR technology, the study demonstrates a design-to-build approach centered on locally available materials, showcasing the potential of digital craft and circular construction practices.
