The goal of the thesis was to create a novel method for generating wooden architecture using emergent machining processes. This method should be a tool in the hands of the user giving novices an insight into how joinery can be used in architecture, flattening the learning curve and encouraging the use of joinery in situations that would have been solved using more conventional means. To aid this accessibility the materials used are standard dimensional timber profiles.
By creating a system that bridges the gap between novice users and joinery and by using readily available material in the form of processed timber, joinery and emergent machining processes can be made a viable addition to contemporary architecture.
