Experiments In New-Wood Through Digital Making

This thesis builds on the foundation of dimensional wood.

It investigates the field of digital fabrication to identify the

adjacently-possible tectonics and design-build processes

which are unlocked by the mass-customized logic of this new

technology.

Following the process of design-research, a digitally-guided

method is generated, leveraging the unique properties of this

computer-aided craft. This method is used to make several

building forms which serve to define the tectonics that emerged

from within the performed research.
