New Sources

Matthias Gschwendtner | Berlin University of the Arts

The New Sources research project is exploring new possibilities in the direct utilisation of residual materials as alternative raw materials. Branches, which are usually waste material from the wood industry, have been little utilised to date due to their complex geometry. By linking 3D scanning, computational design and robot-based manufacturing, a scalable process is created that enables the use of this previously problematic material. The Computational Log Chair is a first use case.
