“…Any kind of sustainable information such as LCA (life cycle analysis) standards or others are not accepted in common CAD software. Visual programming languages for creating more sophisticated models are also useful [110,111], and advanced parametric software such as Grasshoper [112], Rhino, Generative Components [113] are being used to create parametric buildings and components. In the case of Rhino, the research conducted by [114] developed a plug-in for the 3D modelling software Rhinoceors at the Institute for Digital Economy in the construction and wood industries (IdBH), which avoided complex node intersections and reduced fabrication complexity for the manufacture flow of architectural forms from wood.…”

This research raises questions about the possibilities and options of using the BIM methodology associated with software for the wood design and construction of structure modeling along an asset’s cycle life. Likewise, several academic and research initiatives are reviewed. In this sense, this paper aims to establish an appropriate link between two agendas that the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, academia, and governments normally handle separately. By conducting several literature reviews (book, journals, and congresses) and extensive software tests (BIM software: Revit v2023, Archicad v27, Tekla, and wood plug-ins: AGACAD, Archiframe, Timber Framing 2015, WoodStud Frame, etc.), the state-of-the-art was assessed in both fields, and several cases linking BIM and wood are shown in detail and discussed. Various theoretical samples are modelled and shown, and the advantages and disadvantages of each technique and stage are explained. On the other hand, although wood construction has been most common for hundreds of years, this is not the case of BIM software developments associated with this materiality. Furthermore, since the appearance of materials such as steel and reinforced concrete, all software developments have focused on these materials, leaving aside the possibility of developing applications for use in wood projects. According to that previously discussed, it can be concluded that BIM for wood has been used more frequently in academia, that both fields have several common processes, and, in many cases, that only a few BIM-wood tools have been used, thus disregarding the high potential and high level of benefits that result with the application of these methodologies for the complete building life cycle (design, construction, and operation).

“…In the same study, it was found that the use of timber frames in multistorey buildings could reduce embodied carbon by 48% in comparison with steel and by 19% compared to concrete as the principal structural material. Moreover, timber is renewable and lightweight, with good thermal properties and a low carbon footprint (Svatoš-Ražnjevi c, 2022;Hens et al, 2021;Kunic et al, 2021;Ostrowska-Wawryniuk, 2021;Bukauskas et al, 2019;Stavric and Bogensperger., 2015;Daerga et al, 2014;Leskovar and Premrov, 2012;Weinand, 2009). Additionally, timber provides an agreeable indoor microclimate and has positive effects on the occupants of the building, while reducing stress (Ostrowska-Wawryniuk, 2021;Tarin et al, 2019;Leskovar and Premrov, 2012).…”

Purpose The reuse of timber building parts, when designing new buildings, has become a topic of increasing discussion as a proposed circular solution in support of sustainable development goals. Designers face the difficulty of identifying and applying different design strategies for reuse due to multiple definitions, which are used interchangeably. The purpose of this study is to propose a taxonomy to define the relationships between various concepts and practices that comprise the relevant strategies for reuse, notably design for disassembly (DfD) and design for adaptability (DfA). Design/methodology/approach Literature reviews were conducted based on research publications over the previous 12 years and located through the Web of Science and Scopus. Findings A taxonomy for the design process grounded on two strategies for reuse is presented: DfD and DfA. Based on previous work, the taxonomy aims to build a vocabulary of definitions in DfD and DfA to support other researchers and practitioners working in the field. Research limitations/implications The research is limited to the design phase of timber-based buildings. It does not take into account the other phases of the construction process, neither other kind of construction methods. Practical implications The application of the taxonomy can facilitate communication between different actors and provide a way for building product manufacturers to demonstrate their reuse credentials, enabling them to produce and promote compliant products and thereby support design for reuse strategies. Social implications This paper could contribute to a closer collaboration of all stakeholders involved in the building process since the very early phases of the conceptual design. Originality/value This paper contributes a comprehensive taxonomy to support the deployment of circular reuse strategies and assist designers and other stakeholders from the earliest of phases in the building’s life cycle. The proposed definition framework provided by the taxonomy resolves the longstanding lack of a supporting vocabulary for reuse and can be used as a reference for researchers and practitioners working with the DfD and DfA.

“…The Huffman grid origami pattern was used in the roof of a sketch building at the Hanover World Expo in 2000 and for the gate of the 2002 Turin Winter Olympics. Stavric et al [7] constructed an architectural sketch using the expansion pattern of Miura-ori origami and analyzed the bearing capacity of the structure by using finite element software. Falk et al [8] designed a temporary church in Saint Loup, France, and optimized the lighting of the building through Autodesk Ecotect Analysis software, which was also based on the Miura-ori origami pattern.…”

Parametric design of developable structure based on Yoshimura origami pattern

Origami is an ancient art form and can be divided into rigid and non-rigid origami. Rigid origami is suitable for the design of building structures because the panels are not twisted and deformed during the folding process. Currently, rigid origami structures are generally built with steel. However, compared with natural, non-polluting wood, steel has a high energy consumption and a high environmental impact. Based on this situation, this paper designs a developable wooden building structure using the Yoshimura origami model. First, the Jacobian matrix method was used to analyze the degree of freedom of the basic unit of the Yoshimura origami pattern, following which the motion trajectory required by the target structure was obtained. Secondly, by analyzing the relationship between the plane angle α and dihedral angle θ, three interaction rules were obtained, and the formula for determining the structure size was established by using the plane angle α, dihedral angle θ, the number of valley folds n and the unit length l. Subsequently, two enhancement schemes, the quadrangle enhancement scheme and the triangle enhancement scheme, were proposed to increase the height of the structure. After comparing the deformation and failure types of origami structures based on Cross-Laminated Timber, a triangular reinforcement scheme was chosen to increase the height of the structure. Finally, a new connection method was developed that allowed the origami structure to be practically applied. This research demonstrates the possibility of developing a timber structure based on Yoshimura origami.
