INQUIRIES ON DIGITAL WOOD.
The workshop LAB.PREFAB#01 carried out a research on “digital wood” with the concept of “objects with uncertain uses” in mind. Divided into groups, participants worked on exploratory scale models, generating a series of project possibilities. Lastly, the judges decided on a final proposal which later on was built in factory and exhibited in São Paulo, simultaneously with the X BIAU.

The workshop aimed at architecture students, architects and others interested in the field. LAB. PREFAB program was divided into 4 instances: Workshop, Factory, Exhibition and Installation. The Workshop held introductory presentations and conferences, followed by a group exercise with individual product outcomes. Modelling materials were provided to produce 1.20 scale. (2 days)

A visit to the Crosslam factory in the city of Suzano-SP was held to learn about the entire CLT manufacturing process through a theoretical and practical presentation. Tests of cutting and fixing parts were made on a 1:1 scale. (0.5 days) The Exhibition stage ends with an opportunity to present and give an oral defense of the proposals to external judges.  A final proposal is selected by the judge and built on a 1:1 scale by Crosslam. Diplomas are handed and the event closes with a vernissage. (0.5 days) The temporary installation will be produced simultaneously with the X BIAU. A public exhibition is held on the final day. (1 day)
