![]() As architects, it is important to understand the process of creating these pieces to better design around them. Yet with the increasingly widespread use of wood as a primary building material, some architects have been looking to create directly organic forms for wooden structures, with several examples already having been made from Glued Laminated Wood. Other solutions create the illusion of organic volumes using straight components, which often achieves interesting results. ![]() While sculpting the wood to reach the desired shape is always an option, this method generates a lot of waste and requires an experienced workforce. In buildings, however, these techniques are not so common. Boat and furniture builders have been using curved wood for many years to adapt to hydrodynamic and ergonomic requirements. While sculpting wood to achieve the desired curves will always be an option, this method generates large amounts of waste and requires a very experienced workforce. This elasticity depends directly on the type of wood and the dimensions of the piece to be curved. ![]() Just as a tree sways in a strong wind, wood has its own elasticity, and can be flexed to a certain extent before returning partially or completely to its original state when the force ceases.
