IntCDC Visting Professor Martin Tamke (CITA, KADK Copenhagen) and digitize wood invite you to the workshop Tree to Product – Opportunities in the Digital Timber Value.
The event will take place on 8 April 2022 from 8:30-1:00 p.m. at the University of Stuttgart.
The workshop will address the shift in understanding of materials in architecture and engineering, driven by the climate crisis and the move towards a bio-based economy. Material can no longer be understood as a readily available off-the-shelf product, but as a precious resource with local ecological and social impacts.
Timber is often presented as a solution to the negative impacts of our current building practices, while at the same time we see that up to 70% of the raw material from trees becomes waste in its transformation into building elements; and that a material with very individual, complex and fascinating behaviours is classified into a few standard grades in order to conform to our current industrial construction logic. At the same time, huge efforts are being made to digitalise both forestry and the building industry.
Together we want to learn and discuss about resource and data flows in the forestry and building sector and how a potential linkage of these could provide an opportunity for designers and fabricators to create or improve products, processes and services in terms of sustainability, accountability, clarity and efficiency.
The invited speakers will present views from industry and research along the whole timber value chain:
- Martin Tamke (CITA)
- Udo Sauter (FVA Forstliche Versuchs- und Forschungsanstalt Baden-Württemberg)
- Jan Bulmer (Holzbau-Offensive BW)
- Tom Svilans (CITA)
- Markus Lukacevic (Institut für Mechanik der Werkstoffe und Strukturen, TU Vienna)
- Dylan Wood (ICD)
Registration
We are limited to 30 places.
Please register for free at digitze-wood@intcdc.uni-stuttgart.
About digitize wood
digitize wood is a platform for knowledge and innovation transfer between timber construction research at the IntCDC Cluster of Excellence and the timber construction industry in Baden-Württemberg.
At regular network meetings, digitize wood organises the two-way knowledge transfer between representatives of timber construction research at the IntCDC Cluster of Excellence and the timber construction industry, mechanical engineering, tool manufacturing, crafts and planning in Baden-Württemberg.
digitize wood is based at the IntCDC Cluster of Excellence at the University of Stuttgart and is funded by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Rural Areas (MLR) within the framework of the Holzbau-Offensive BW.
About CITA
CITA is a Copenhagen based innovative research environment within the Royal Danish Academy and explores the intersections between architecture and digital technologies. Identifying core research questions on how space and technology can be probed, CITA investigates how the current forming of a digital culture impacts on architectural thinking and practice. CITA examines how architecture is influenced by new digital design and production tools, as well as the digital practices that culturally, socially and technologically shape our societies. Using design and practice-based research methods, CITA works through the conceptualisation, design and realisation of working prototypes. CITA is highly collaborative with both industry and practice, establishing new collaborations with interdisciplinary partners from the fields of computer graphics, human computer interaction, robotics, artificial intelligence, biology, as well as the practice-based fields of forestry, furniture design, fashion and textiles, and industrial design.
