Parametric Structure
The challenge of this exercise was to design a parametric structure that could be placed both in a crowded urban context and a natural landscape. The structure would have been made out of interwoven bent sheets of laminated timber, and all the elements were generated with the help of a parametric algorithm. To better grasp the structure, a 1:1 prototype for one structural element was constructed out of birch plywood and tested.

The 1:1 prototype is made out of 4 mm birch plywood (1x1m long). Various small study models were made out of paper, cardboard, and acrylic sheets
