When timber resources were depleted during the Joseon Dynasty in Korea, the culture of timber stopped. Studio JK-AR fantasizes of a new construction through digital computation and digital fabrication.
"This shingled timber pavilion was created by masters students on ETH Zurich's Digital Fabrication course, after developing robotic fabrication techniques to minimise the waste involved in its construction. The structure was designed and built by students and professors at the Gramazio Kohler Research lab at the Swiss University, as part of ongoing research into the use of robots for timber construction."
