This project explores the design and fabrication of moulded timber components – laminated geometries with curvature in more than one plane. Using Eames furniture, garment pattern cutting practices, and the work of Mark West to guide the research, the project examines how curvature can be drawn from developable sheets of veneer. Woodwind instruments were developed to explore how moulded timber shells could form enclosed vessels – these studies were then reimagined as inhabitable spaces. Digital simulations engage with the flat sheet as an active collaborator in design, leaving space for the simulated material to interpolate between programmatic constraints. Close attention was also paid to the pattern marker – by nesting the patterns to achieve full use of the flat sheet, reciprocal relationships between the spaces were formed through their shared curves. An Amsterdam site was chosen to develop a scheme for a hostel, with a market running beneath it. Trees and pockets of space between the opposing elevations were folded into the collaboration between the simulated material, design constraints and nesting strategy – from this network of contingent elements a proposal slowly emerged.
