Wooden Lattice

Installation | 2015

The Wooden Lattice interrogates digital craft, computational tectonics, and the dissolution of traditional material hierarchies through an adaptive, load-bearing system.

The installation operates as a spatial skin. A meticulous system of birch ply elements, assembled through metal connectors, establishes an autonomous structural logic. It rejects conventional hierarchies of cladding and support, where every component is both load-bearing and expressive.
Its geometry is computationally resolved embracing the nuances of fabrication. The system privileges localized making while engaging contemporary structural methodologies, allowing craft and technology to function as co-authors rather than counterparts.

The self-supporting membrane is neither applied nor ornamental—it is generative, operating as an integrated structural field. Each intersection is a point of dialogue between algorithmic control and manual assembly, achieving equilibrium through interdependence.
