Students from the Architectural Association have designed and built a robotically fabricated Wood Chip Barn at Hooke Park, the AA’s forest campus in Dorset, UK. The barn’s arching structure is formed from forked beech-tree components directly sourced from the surrounding woodland. The inherent form and structural capacity of the natural tree is transferred and exploited within the truss structure using 3d-scanning techniques and robotic milling to form the connections.
