Simplifying the Complex
Parametric Design of Freeform Timber Structures

This is a blog for the first collaborative course between Oregon State University’s Wood Science and Engineering and University of Oregon’s Architecture departments, lead by Profs. Mariapaola Riggio and Nancy Cheng. The course focuses on the three main factors of building tectonics: the material, the tools and the design. It explores how digital processes are opening up new technical and design possibilities. Students study timber structural systems, then design and detail a team project using digital workflows.
