MakeTANK: Complex Timber Joinery with Leers Weinzapfel Associates
Wednesday we hosted @BSA MakeTANK in our office, showcasing the Complex Timber Joinery of our National Museum of Forest Service History (NMFSH) Conservation Legacy Center project and debuting our new 3D Fabrication Lab.
LWA Associate Chiajung Andy Wen presented on the intertwined process of blending digital and physical study, from design and model-making to construction documentation for the NMFSH. We also showcased a large 3D model of the wooden columns designed. Our Fabrication Lab Manager Collin Vermilyea led tours of our new makerspace to provide a walkthrough of our process. We had a great time hosting the MakeTANK and look forward to sharing more about our Mass Timber research.
