Learning Objectives
1. Articulate the particular demands associated with creating a 3-dimensional space frame entirely in wood.
2. Recognize the advantages and disadvantages of several wood connection strategies in space-frame structures.
3. Be aware of manufacturing capabilities and limitations that influenced the design of the Aspen Art Museum roof structure.
4. Understand the importance of early engagement of manufacturing and engineering partners in the design process for innovative wood structures.

OUTLINE• THE BUILDING CONCEPT
• THE ARCHITECT’S CONCEPT FOR THE ROOF
• 4 STRUCTURAL CONCEPTS FOR THE ROOF
• FABRICATION TESTS: MOCK UPS
• STRENGTH TESTS: MATERIAL TESTING
• FINAL FABRICATION
• ERECTION
• FINISHED BUILDING

COMPLETED PROJECT
WHAT WE LEARNED
WHAT WE LEARNEDObjective 1Design challenge centers on the nodes and connections.
“Structures are connections held together by members.”
- Hardy Cross
Wood is orthotropic.
With engineered wood products, you can orient the wood fibers to your advantage.
WHAT WE LEARNEDObjective 1
Curved space frame members are beautiful, and yet at odds with their structural function.
WHAT WE LEARNEDObjective 1
Knife plates and bolts are expensive and do not always take the best advantage of the wood properties
WHAT WE LEARNEDObjective 2
Notches and half-lap joints dramaticallyreduce the strength of wood
WHAT WE LEARNEDObjective 2
Screws create strong, redundant wood connections
WHAT WE LEARNEDObjective 2
Preparation of precision virtual models for CNC fabrication is essential.
WHAT WE LEARNEDObjective 3
Design cannot be divorced from fabrication and construction process.
WHAT WE LEARNEDObjective 4
