II Latin American Congress of Timber Structures + II Ibero-Latin American Congress of Timber in Construction (CLEM+CIMAD 2017), Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Abstract The necessary revision of the construction processes in search of more sustainable solutions leads to the use of high efficiency structural systems and environmen-friendly materials. In this sense, timber gridshells represent a solution of great interest for lightweight roofs

(2014) Educational innovation in the architectural design of timber structures: an experience at the digital fabrication laboratory of Seville University. 7th International Conference of Education, Research and Innovation (ICERI), Sevilla, Spain.

Abstract This paper presents an educational experience developed in the course entitled “Architectural Design and Digital Fabrication of Timber Structures”, which was offered to students of the Higher Technical School of Architecture – University of Sevilla during the 2012-2013 academic

Lara-Bocanegra AJ, Roig A, Domínguez I, (2014) Innovation in Timber Architectural Structures and Digital Fabrication: A Cartography. The 10th International Fab Lab Conference, Barcelona, Spain.

Abstract After a relative decline during Modernism, the use of large-scale timber structures is becoming a growing trend at the beginning of the 21st Century. Different vectors converge to make this happen. The most relevant of these vectors being the
