The arched form of the pavilion is inspired by Alvar Aalto’s and Charles Eames’s experiments in plywood bending and cutting in order to achieve curvature. Based on bending behavior under the self-weight of over-sized sheets of plywood of up to 11 x 2.5 m, the design activates the material properties as the defining element in the transfer ...

This pavilion is the first structure in the US built from this new mass plywood material with timber sourced from forests within 100 miles of the Freres’ manufacturing plant in Lyons, Oregon. The Mass Plywood Pavilion was installed at the Portland Art Museum as part of the exhibition "Quest for Beauty: The Architecture, Landscapes, and ...

The wide, parabolic vault is made out of 413 plywood panels connected through an interlocking system. Due to its connected nature, each panel supports and is supported by its neighboring panels. Because of that, no fixings or other falsework were needed during construction.

Jun 7, 2013 · Structures: Interlocking Triangulated Facets. The objective of this project is to introduce a basic understanding of structure and construction principles through research, design and production of a full size 3D structure. During Part I: Research, I looked at a few buildings: 1. Japanese Pavilion In Hanover - Shigeru ban Architects. 2.

The pavilion is approx. 2.5m x 4.5m x 2.8m composed of over 155 rods with structurally sound interlocking joints. Compactly packed linear rods were transported to the site and the pavilion was assembled without the use of hand tools.

Architecture and design projects featuring plywood including furniture, interiors, pavilions, staircases and exhibitions about the laminated timber material.

Nov 1, 2023 · A concept was formulated by a group comprising Simon Vorhammer, Dr. Jonas Schikore, Dr. Christina Jeschke, and David Ott, with the intention of utilizing double-shell interlocking systems to implement arbitrarily curved freeform surfaces. The hexagonal system is distinguished by the absence of curvature and torsion in all of its components, as ...
