This digital wood construction tour exhibition is planned by Professor Wang Yuan from the Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and hosted by Linlang wood architecture. In order to present the new design logic and construction logic of digital wood construction technology, we disassembled and displayed the 6 participating wood structure buildings according to three levels of "system", "unit" and "element".
To match this theme, we designed a group of modular exhibition frames. Its "elements" are standard 70*140mm glulam (European spruce) rods assembled into U-shaped display frame "units", its three sides bear different functions: the bottom side puts the overall model of the building, the top side hangs the corresponding node model, and the side post exhibition.
In order to avoid the occurrence of additional structural support members, we simply make the U-shaped frame rotate 15 degrees to meet the stability of the structure.Such a small misalignment creates tenon openings for the units to connect to each other, thus, it has the potential to expand into a "system" of exhibitions adapted to different exhibition conditions.
The exhibition frame combines the traditional mortise and tenon joints with modern connections. All the joints are easy to disassemble. They have been continuously reassembled and transported over the year, each time, the units are combined in completely different forms to represent the diversity and richness of the standardized units.
