Project Year: 2020
Building Typology: Structure
Site Location: none
Area: none
Type: Design Reseach, Computational Design
Nowadays, as the extent of urbanization expanded explosively, the demands of collective housing has increased. As a result, to generate a new form of future living unit, the computational design thinking and digital manufacture tools were applied in the project. Each unit of the nest is comprised of vertical and horizontal wood components, serving as the structural elements in the meantime. Through computational simulations and fabrication, the project was proposed with a focus on the possibilities of structural form and material science.
