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&#8217;s conception.<\/p>\n<p>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
