Curve-Fit Timber
Estructuras de forma libre mediante módulos plegados curvos
Curve-Fit Timber es un sistema de construcción para arquitectos y constructores que desean crear estructuras de madera de forma libre de manera eficiente. Utiliza planchas de madera ligera empaquetadas en plano que se pliegan en curva in situ para formar módulos portantes, lo que resuelve el problema de los elevados costes y el derroche de recursos asociados a las formas arquitectónicas complejas. Es sostenible porque utiliza madera renovable con bajo contenido en carbono, minimiza el desperdicio de material durante la fabricación y presenta un diseño modular que permite desmontarlo y reutilizarlo.
