The TWIST: AA EmTech @ Timber Expo 2015

The TWIST is a design and construction project developed by the Emergent Technologies and Design Programme (EmTech) at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London. The project capitalises on the material effects of milled plywood observed in 1:1 tests, thus making the experimentation process central to the design endeavour. The TWIST, however, seeks to gain full control of such material behaviour, exploiting the anisotropic properties of plywood to achieve a material system capable of pr
