“…In this context, the research carried out by ICD/ITKE led by Achim Menges and Jan Knippers (already mentioned in the CD-RM dyad review) is distinguished by its involvement in full-scale OSC projects. Indeed, results such as the BUGA Fibre Pavilion and BUGA Wood Pavilion projects represent evidence for the potential of RM in OSC [118][119][120]. Snapshots of these projects and their manufacturing processes are illustrated in Figure 14 [75].…”

The architectural engineering and construction (AEC) industry is undergoing a digital transformation that progressively improves its performance, productivity, and competitiveness. This digital shift is accelerated through building information modeling (BIM) which facilitates technological integrations. BIM has significantly contributed to digitizing design and management activities. However, it has not yet sufficiently demonstrated its interoperability with digital manufacturing processes, such as robotic manufacturing (RM). It is from this perspective that this work will review the current literature’s stance on the technological interoperability of BIM and RM tools through the systematic literature review (SLR) method. This literature review aims to identify research avenues to operationalize RM through BIM tools in construction. The study conducted in this research is progressive; it builds on the identified research gaps and investigates potential research avenues to be undertaken. The results revealed that computational design (CD) could serve as a bridge between BIM and RM. They also revealed that RM is operationalizable in off-site construction (OSC) through BIM and CD.

“…Lastangepasste und damit materialeffiziente Schalentragwerke sind in der heutigen Baupraxis aufgrund des hohen Aufwands für die Herstellung so gut wie ausgestorben. Für den BUGA Holzpavillon wurde als Alternative zu traditionellen Schalenbauweisen ein System entwickelt, bei dem eine doppeltgekrümmte Geometrie aus ebenen Kassetten zusammengesetzt wird [4] (Bild 2). Dies erfordert, dass jede der 376 Kassetten des BUGA Holzpavillons unterschiedliche geometrische Abmessungen hat.…”

“…In addition, joints determine the quality of rapid and precise assembly. Customization of the form-and forcefitting finger joint system is already a common design method for the realization the of the geometrically complex segmented timber structures like, among others, ICD/ITKE Research Pavilions 2011 (La Magna et al, 2013), folded-plate arch prototype (Robeller and Weinand, 2015), Landesgartenschau Exhibition Hall (Menges et al, 2015), and Buga pavilion (Bechert et al, 2021), expanding a new horizon into geometric manipulation of the interlocking timber connections.…”

“…2020). These shells are load-bearing column-free structures consisting of multiple timber elements (Bechert et al, 2018) which are fastened together by integral joints (Schwinn et al 2013), additional connectors, or a combination of them (Bechert et al, 2021). Therefore, to turn unused CLT offcuts into such shells, the development of an efficient joint system and assembly method is a priority.…”

The paper presents an algorithmic modeling tool for segmented timber shell structures made of glued wave-edge CLT plates. The goal is to provide a larger bonding area and thereby higher adhesive strength between plates, especially where a higher tensionresistant capacity is required. In addition to a number of contemporary research for exploring stereotomic modules, the inspiration is taken from the long history of the traditional glued finger joints in carpentry where they are used for providing higher interlocking capacity and adhesive strength. The structural performance of regular and glued finger joints is directly proportional to the bonding area between adjoining elements where they are interlocked and glued. Hence, expanding the shared faces would intrinsically magnify the structural performance of the glued finger joints. The paper presents the modeling method of a material-efficient, grain-informed, and structurallyoptimized wedge edge joint system for the multi-shaped shell structures where the wave pattern is chosen for generating smoother fabrication toolpaths compared to any sharpcornered pattern. The algorithm developed by the authors can efficiently maximize the glue bond by optimizing the wave-edge properties dynamically with respect to the geometric design, material system, and structural analysis within a feedback loop. The wave-edge properties directly affect the material waste and fabrication time and cost; therefore, the production parameters could be directly considered and controlled within the design process. The algorithm is able to produce the structural data model for the direct RFEM structural analysis, and fabrication data for automated production of multitude elements. The paper argues the application possibilities and limitations of the joint system for multi-shaped timber plate shells made of a multitude of geometricallydifferentiated timber plates.
