While there is now a body of research on trends, benefits, and disadvantages of timber construction, there is not yet literature on the wider market or the impact of stakeholders on it. This research investigates the (i) architects, (ii) engineers, and (iii) manufacturers involved in the realization of 300 contemporary multi-storey timber buildings from an existing survey. The analysis is based on data sourced from stakeholder websites and the building survey. It evaluates the perceived level of timber expertise of stakeholders based on service categorization and stakeholder type and relates them to the buildings they worked on. The research uses quantitative methods to answer qualitative questions on the connection between architectural variety in timber construction and the stakeholders involved. Interconnectivity between stakeholders and projects is visualized in an interactive network graph. The study shows a segmented mass timber market with relatively few impactful design and construction stakeholders, mostly located in central and northern Europe. It also identifies fabricators as the largest group of innovators advancing the industry and enabling the construction of more complex projects. It reveals the importance of collaboration and knowledge sharing for the industry’s growth.}, article-number = {2287}, author = {Orozco, Luis and Svatoš-Ražnjević, Hana and Wagner, Hans Jakob and Abdelaal, Moataz and Amtsberg, Felix and Weiskopf, Daniel and Menges, Achim}, doi = {10.3390/buildings13092287}, issn = {2075-5309}, journal = {Buildings}, number = 9, title = {Advanced Timber Construction Industry: A Quantitative Review of 646 Global Design and Construction Stakeholders}, url = {https://www.mdpi.com/2075-5309/13/9/2287}, volume = 13, year = 2023 }

The on-site assembly process is semi-automated, which demonstrates its feasibility. A comparison to a simulated benchmark that exploits all speed limits shows the automation potential.

  @article{su152316178, abstract = {To meet climate change goals and respond to increased global urbanisation, the building industry needs to improve both its building technology and its design methods. Constrained urban environments and building stock extensions are challenges for standard timber construction. Co-design promises to better integrate disciplines and processes, promising smaller feedback loops for design iteration and building verification. This article describes the integrated design, fabrication, and construction processes of a timber building prototype as a case study for the application of co-design methods. Emphasis is placed on the development of design and engineering methods, fabrication and construction processes, and materials and building systems. The development of the building prototype builds on previous research in robotic fabrication (including prefabrication, task distribution, and augmented reality integration), agent-based modelling (ABM) for the design and optimisation of structural components, and the systematisation of timber buildings and their components. The results presented in this article include a functional example of co-design from which best practises may be extrapolated as part of an inductive approach to design research. The prototype, with its co-designed process and resultant flat ceilings, integrated services, wide spans, and design adaptability for irregular column locations, has the potential to expand the design potential of multi-storey timber buildings.}, article-number = {16178}, author = {Orozco, Luis and Krtschil, Anna and Wagner, Hans Jakob and Bechert, Simon and Amtsberg, Felix and Knippers, Jan and Menges, Achim}, doi = {10.3390/su152316178}, issn = {2071-1050}, journal = {Sustainability}, number = 23, title = {Co-Design Methods for Non-Standard Multi-Storey Timber Buildings}, url = {https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/15/23/16178}, volume = 15, year = 2023 }

The design freedom of timber structures is incomparable to that of reinforced concrete structures, which mostly gains from the in-situ fabrication process. An in-situ robotic timber fabrication platform allows the on-site construction of glulam structures with highly differentiated networks of beams composed of robotically assembled discrete linear elements. Based on the possibilities of such mobile robotic fabrication process, this paper explores novel architectural typologies of spatial glulam structures. The research is conducted from several aspects including joint tectonics, design method, and robotic fabrication process.

  @inproceedings{Qi2021, abstract = {Despite being sustainable, strong and lightweight, naturally grown bamboo poles are currently used in restricted building typologies. This is due to the large tolerances in the built structures, which is caused by the variations in the dimensions and geometry ofnatural material as well as the manual, uninformed and imprecise assembly methods. In previous work, we introduced an adaptive fabrication method for bamboo structures that can monitor the fabrication process and compensate for deviations between built and designed form. As a proofofconcept, the method is suitable for small scale bamboo structures in 2D- or simple 3D configuration. This paper extends the previous method by integrating the adaptation strategies into a cohesive fabrication and assembly workflow for large scale complex bamboo structures. To enable that, a more effective sensor localization method, adaptation algorithm, connection and assembly system, as well as web-based user interface are developed. The effectiveness ofthe proposed methods is demonstrated through the fabrication of a pavilion scale branching bamboo structure that complies with intended geometric boundary conditions. Even though the material has substantial geometrical variations, the final structure shows small geometric deviations and a successful interface with the prefabricated roofelements. Our work shows how vernacular materials and processes can be digitally augmented in order to reliably produce building structures, hence enabling their usage in modern applications to a larger extent.}, address = {Novi Sad}, author = {Qi, Yue and Zhong, Ruqing and Kaiser, Benjamin and Tahouni, Yasaman and Wagner, Hans Jakob and Verl, Alexander and Menges, Achim}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 39th eCAADe Conference}, editor = {Stojakovic, V and Tepavcevic, B}, file = {:C\:/Users/ac128044/Google Drive/ICD_Wagner/01_Publikationen/PUBLICATION_COLLECTION/2021_ECAADE_AUGMENTED_ACCURACY.pdf:pdf}, pages = {345--354}, publisher = {Cumincad}, title = {Augmented Accuracy: A Human-Machine Integrated Adaptive Fabrication Workflow for Bamboo}, url = {http://papers.cumincad.org/cgi-bin/works/paper/ecaade2021_169}, volume = 1, year = 2021 }

Although natural fibres can be used for such technique, the presented work focuses on CFRP tows - that have a special advantage as they can be cured via electrical current in-place without oven or autoclave while the wood material acts both as insulator and formwork. The three-dimensional geometries of the discussed fibrous arrangements are hardly limited in their form which makes precise computational design strategies the cornerstone for an effective exploration, understanding and exploitation of the design potentials of such structures. We show how principal local stress-directions, fabrication specifications as well as design- and environmental considerations can be considered to form-find meaningful fibrous layouts within such structures. The proposed technique most notably creates novel performance-spectrums for sustainable, ultra-lightweight bespoke wood architecture by enabling tailor- made bending resistant on-site connections, that break free from added weight, expense and the intensive energy footprint of steel connectors. We further discuss our investigations within this framework through the prototypical fabrication of physical demonstrators that represent a comprehensive set of wood building system typologies: custom fibre-reinforced slab plates, a segmented plate shell structure and a polygonal lattice shell structure.}, author = {Wagner, Hans Jakob and Garufi, Dominga and Schwinn, Tobias and Wood, Dylan Marx and Menges, Achim}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the IASS Annual Symposium 2020/21 and the 7th International Conference on Spatial Structures}, editor = {Behnejad, S.A. and Parke, G.A.R. and Samavati, O.A.}, file = {:C\:/Users/ac128044/Google Drive/ICD_Wagner/01_Publikationen/1809_FIBRE_TIMBER/2107_IASS_Surrey/Paper Submission/IASS_3D_Fibre_Placement_in_Wood.pdf:pdf}, organization = {IASS }, title = {Three-Dimensional Fibre Placement in Wood for connections and reinforcements in timber structures}, venue = {Guilford (UK)}, year = 2021 }

It will be increasingly important to discuss suitable methods for the management of robotics and computational design in construction for the successful implementation of robotic fabrication systems in the context of the industry.

Timber Construction is seen as the most promising technology for the sustainable development of continuously growing urban areas around the world, resulting in increasing legislative support. Although employing high levels of automation in prefabrication, wood building systems and construction techniques are currently hardly competitive outside of modular construction paradigms – restricting the material's use in the majority of building typologies. In many projects, the use of concrete is still preferred, as slabs can be poured into monolithic slabs of various geometries and steel reinforcement can be freely arranged according to structural requirements. In order to allow engineered wood structures to be used across all building types, we propose a co-designed wood construction system. A respective robotic fabrication platform can be employed in two on-site fabrication scenarios. In both cases the mobile robot moves relative to a preinstalled wood-panel surface that serves as semi-controlled environment and is incrementally reinforced through iterative placement of wood laths using nail-press gluing.

We apply this method for large scale structures built from natural bamboo poles. Raw bamboo poles obtain evolutionarily optimized fibrous layouts ideally suitable for lightweight and sustainable building construction. Nevertheless, their intrinsically imprecise geometries pose a challenge for reliable, automated construction processes. Despite recent digital advancements, building with bamboo poles is still a labor-intensive task and restricted to building typologies where accuracy is of minor importance. The integration of structural bamboo poles with other building layers is often limited by tolerance issues at the interfaces, especially for large scale structures where deviations accumulate incrementally. To address these challenges, an adaptive fabrication process is developed, in which existing deviations can be compensated by changing the geometry of subsequent joints to iteratively correct the pose of further elements. A vision-based sensing system is employed to three-dimensionally scan the bamboo elements before and during construction. Computer vision algorithms are used to process and interpret the sensory data. The updated conditions are streamed to the computational model which computes tailor-made bending stiff joint geometries that can then be directly fabricated on-the-fly.

  @incollection{Garufi2018a, abstract = {With fibrous joints for lightweight segmented timber shells we introduce novel techniques for three-dimensional placement and curing of CFRP-Tows within prefabricated plywood plates to create differentiated fibrous bending-resistant timber plate joints. Density, orientation, and position of the fibrous joints can be informed by the cal- culated local principal tensile forces and dihedral plate angles between 90° and 270° can be achieved, which allows for the gradual integra- tion of various functional and structural aspects into segmented shell structures. After the CFRP tows are placed inside the wood, the matrix can be consolidated in situ via controlled application of electric current without bonding the fibers to the wood. This opens up the possibility of mobile on-site fibrous joining of large-scale structures, as CFRP tows can be cured independently of autoclave sizes. The joints' structural ca- pacity is based on the form stability of the CFRP loops rather than any chemical interface between fibers and plywood plates. This allows the two materials to be separated at the end of the structure's lifetime.}, address = {Berlin, Munich, Boston}, author = {Garufi, Dominga and Wagner, Hans Jakob and Bechert, Simon and Schwinn, Tobias and Wood, Dylan Marx and Menges, Achim and Knippers, Jan}, booktitle = {Research Culture in Architecture: Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration}, doi = {10.1515/9783035620238}, editor = {Leopold, Cornelie and Robeller, Christopher and Weber, Ulrike}, file = {:C\:/Users/ac128044/Google Drive/ICD_Wagner/01_Publikationen/1809_FIBRE_TIMBER/02_RCA_Birkh{\"{a}}user/04_Publisher_Layout/[9783035620238 - Research Culture in Architecture] Fibrous Joints for Lightweight Segmented Timber Shells.pdf:pdf}, isbn = {9783035620238}, month = {12}, pages = {53--64}, publisher = {De Gruyter / Birkh{\"{a}}user}, title = {{Fibrous Joints for Lightweight Segmented Timber Shells}}, url = {http://www.degruyter.com/view/books/9783035620238/9783035620238/9783035620238.xml}, year = 2019 }
