Parametric wooden installations in urban architecture
Abstract
Parametric wooden installations in urban architecture
Incoming article date: 20.02.2025The article explores parametric wooden installations to reimagine public architecture by combining the natural properties of wood with computational strategies. It explores how iterative modeling, digital fabrication and user-centric awareness reveal aesthetic and structural possibilities in open or semi-public spaces. A qualitative approach that combines experimental design, prototypes, and field feedback shows that it is effective in creating interactive forms, optimizing material use, and promoting community participation. While environmental factors and cultural ideas influence longevity, the results highlighted by the ZCB bamboo pavilion as an example of how digital workflows are adapted to sustainability, craft traditions and changing needs, ultimately confirming the promise of these structures to architects, policymakers and communities.
