The Gridadigtion R&D&i project, funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation, gets underway. It integrates concepts of structural efficiency and material economy, advanced digital fabrication and the development of a high-performance LVL for new construction systems for gridshell structures.
The objective of the present project is to develop a new construction system for timber gridshells that minimizes the cost of material, labour and auxiliary resources and that is competitive for application in standard works. For this, it is proposed to integrate the active bending in the forming process with the use of wood-wood joints made by CNC
