After solving the design aspect of the problem through computational tools, remains the question of how to build the non-standard structure ?
Instead of relying on heavy digital fabrication tools and construction site jigs, we opted for a Mixed Reality strategy using Fologram (@fologm) that enables a more versatile and accessible workflow. The forks were traced using AR guides to locate the scarf joints cuts. Once the joints cut, the elements were located and assembled on site thanks to an AR projection of the digital model. The joints design incorporates a buffer material strategy that mitigates the high tolerance of the previous fabrication steps.
