Ivo STOTZArchitect, Phd IBOIS, EPFL Lausanne, Switzerland ivo.stotz@gmx.net Born in 1977, he received his architecture degree from the EPFL in 2004. 2007, he founds the office Cute Cut, Lausanne, Switzerland. His main area of research is integrated architectural design and manufacturing of spatial structures. Yves WEINANDProfessor, Phd IBOIS, EPFL Lausanne, Switzerland yves.weinand@epfl.ch Born 1963; diploma in architecture and in civil engineering; Ph.D. in structural engineering RWTH Aachen; founder of Bureau d’études Weinand, Liège; professor at EPFL and director of the IBOIS/EPFL Lausanne; co-founder of SHEL Architecture Engineering and Production Design, Geneva. The objective of this paper is to show the feasibility of curved folded plate structures build with timber panels. The first part presents the method used to generate the geometry of the curved folded plate structures and the geometrical parameters of three prototypes as well as their detailing. The second part compares and discusses the building process and the result of the three prototypes. |
