design research ROOT CHAIR 2023
The aim of this project is an exploration of the development of digital tools in architectural design practice in the context of woodworking. The study presents the utilisation of robotic milling fabrication, its benefits and limitations, focusing on residual tree stump. The process involves 3D scanning technologies, the optimisation of the geometry using a variety of digital tools, and the application of artificial intelligence. The project offers a new aesthetic insight into the symbiosis between computer-generated processes and nature-generated processes. The study concludes with a critical evaluation of the potential for the use of robotic and computational technology in architectural design practice. It respectfully reflects on the possible transformation of traditional woodworking craftsmanship to meet the digital and technological demands of the 21st century.
