ARCH 655| Project 2 EmTech’s TWISTed Plywood at the Timber Expo in Birmingham Emergent Technologies and Design Programme (EmTech) at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London has recently exhibited their project, The TWIST at the Timber Expo in Birmingham . The project is an experimentation in the properties of milled plywood , developed throughout 1:1 tests. Through these experiments, The TWIST seeks to gain full control of the material properties, developing articulated surfaces with the variable orientation of its elements. (ref: https://www.archdaily.com/775842/emtechs-twist-displayed-at-the-timber-expo-in-birmingham ). The developing of this project contains three major parts including modeling, analyzing, and optimization. 1- Modeling This project contains two primary curves that shape the main structural elements. Each of these curves is degree three Nurbcurves with six control points. I started modeling by creating
