This design & fabrication project seeks to provide a way out to the wood recycling practice in Hong Kong. It promotes a more sustainable design methodology to be practiced by architects when using wood as material. Such design methodology runs parallel with a fabrication technique developed for the optimization of wood re-surfacing.
With the help of computation and digital fabrication, the architect can be well informed of the production, or re-production in this case, on construction materials and begins to take control over the fabrication process. Design decisions can be easily made based on the limits of the manufacturing process.
The aim of using recycled materials is to prolong the life-cycle of construction materials. It is often neglected by both the industry and the clients.
