Abstract: The presented project in this paper is based on the results of a student workshop led by structural designer Prof. Jun Sato from Tokyo University together with a team of researchers based in Vienna. It represents an experimental investigation of spatial wooden structures that are based on the concept of Kigumi, the carpentry craft of interlocking joints in traditional Japanese Architecture informing a digital workflow resulting in a full-scale demonstrator.
