Wood-to-Wood Connections
Project Name
Inherent Form (Master's Thesis 2024)
Course
ACEX35 Master’s Thesis in Architecture
(30 ECTS Credits)
School
Chalmers University of Technology
This wood connection study is part of my Master's Thesis "Inherent Form", where I described my methodology. One key part of this methodology is "Timber Detail Design," an experimental stage that involves a detailed examination of how raw wood components could be effectively joined, considering the natural irregularities inherent in the material.

This wood connection study is part of my Master's Thesis "Inherent Form", where I described my methodology. One key part of this methodology is "Timber Detail Design," an experimental stage that involves a detailed examination of how raw wood components could be effectively joined, considering the natural irregularities inherent in the material.
The joinery studies are conducted using raw roundwood with a diameter of two to six centimeters. These experiments result in the creation of milled connections using woodworking hand tools, precisely shaping each timber element to fit together seamlessly.
Prototype Fabrication
Project Name

Course
ARK338 Material and Detail
(22.5 ECTS Credits)
School
Chalmers University of Technology
The Material and Detail studio engages in live projects, which are designed, built, and presented to the public within the studio’s duration. It aims to demonstrate a contemporary application of timber through an innovative component-based shell structure.
In this team project, I focused on fabricating a prototype for a uniform timber component to showcase the detailing. My role involved designing and creating this component, with an emphasis on precisely assembling the timber pieces to demonstrate the joinery techniques effectively.
