To achieve these goals, the project combines computational design, robotics and engineering processes supported by artificial intelligence to design wooden slabs with free geometries, ultra-thin profiles and greater structural efficiency, making it possible to simulate them right from the building’s conception.
UTS also focuses on resource efficiency and circularity, minimising the use of materials with a greater environmental impact, maximising the use of low-carbon materials and their reuse throughout their life cycle.

In the project, BUILT CoLAB is responsible for developing a BIM interface, as well as evaluating costs through life cycle costing assessment. It will also support the dissemination and outreach of UTS by carrying out publicity activities and demonstration sessions in different contexts.
