Development of Innovative Construction Systems with Glued Laminated Timber and Glass

In the last years, with collaboration of the architects Manuel García Barbero and Kiyanshid Hedjri (Klimark) and other collaborators in various fields, this Institute has been working in research projects related to timber structures and parametric architecture, such as “Development of Supporting Structures based on Technical Timber and Laminated Glass” and “Development of Innovative Construction Systems with Glued Laminated Timber and Glass”.


One of the aims of this project has been the development of an industrial and modular construction system for free forms with glued laminated timber and glass. To achieve this aim, software products as Rhinoceros for form-shaping and EvoluteTools for the tessellation of free forms in few families of triangles with the same length of sides, have been used.
