Sustinable Digital Wood

This project aims to develop circular timber architecture, or “Digital Wood Architecture,” that enables a circular economy by drawing on traditional woodworking techniques while addressing the heterogeneous nature of timber, its workability, and its recyclability. (Collaborative Research with Azusa Sekkei)

This research project aims to contribute to a decarbonized society by promoting timber architecture by applying advanced information technologies that address challenges such as durability and fire resistance. The goal is to establish a research foundation for circular timber architecture utilizing digital tools. Over a three-year plan, the study will develop and construct a model project called the "Digital Wood Laboratory." The first year focuses on research and planning, the second year on project development and technological advancement, and the third year on construction, dissemination, and establishing an operational base for ongoing research activities.
