Wooden Trajectory explores the use of robotic tools to generate three dimensional compositions.
Often used as a means of production, robotic tools can function as an apparatus of architectural design.
Cutting at an angle creates grooves on each piece of wood, enabling them to slide past and clasp into each other.
The two larger pieces are joined at 90°, acting as the static member, while the third acts as the dynamic piece.
Upon arrival at the apex of the conjoined pieces, the dynamic auxiliary piece seamlessly pivots to the other static face.
The computational code instructs the router to cut the grooves at an angle. This angle then allows the independent pieces to clasp into one another.
