This document outlines objectives to study traditional Japanese joinery techniques, advance understanding of topologically-interlocking joinery (TIJ) through new computational analysis methods, create design and visualization tools to exploit TIJ, and design and fabricate new architectural elements using modern digital fabrication of TIJ techniques.
Topologically interlocking joinery
- 1. Objectives Study the artisan of Japanese joinery and analyze it with new computational engineering methods. Advance the understanding of topologically-interlocking joinery (TIJ). Create new computational design methods methods for visualization and design synthesis to exploit TIJ. Design and realize new TIJ technological and architectural elements with TIJs via modern digital fabrication methods. Sawako Kaijima and Martin L. Dunn
