Qhov Tsim

Txog Carbon Activated Timber Bench Rooj Zaum

Carbon Activated Timber Bench yog tsim los siv rau hauv qhov chaw rau pej xeem thiab ua los ntawm cov ntoo qub uas rov qab siv dua. Nws tawm tsam lub tswv yim ntawm qhov hnyav thiab kev ruaj ntseg. Txawm hais tias qhov loj ntawm cov ntoo zoo li yog cov blocks loj heev, lawv tsuas yog txuas xoob xoob thiab nyob rau hauv qhov tsis ruaj ntseg xwb. Cov xov me me ntawm carbon fibers khi cov blocks loj ua ke los muab kev ruaj ntseg rau lawv. Lawv kuj pab txhawb cov blocks kom ntxiv zog ntxiv rau cov ntoo.

Pob Xov Xwm

Yam Tshwj Xeeb: The bench uses reclaimed wood planks that through their re-application continue to store carbon, since the living trees absorb CO2 from the environment. The re-use of the wood hence contributes to a positive ecological balance. Carbon is re-combined with the wood in a different state, as minimal amounts of high tech fibres that are strategically placed to enhance the capacity of the wood planks.
Qhov Loj & Ntim: Dimensions: 3000 x 830 x 400 mm
Volume: 0.1736 m3
Mass: 128 kg of reclaimed hardwood from outdoor deckings
Carbon fibers, total mass: 0.623 kg (around 800m of 12k carbon fibre tow)
Cov Ntsiab Lus: Reclaimed wood, carbon fibres, robotic milling, traditional crafts
Thev Naus Laus Zis Tsim Khoom: The bench reflects craftsmanship in a contemporary context, where computational design and fabrication have become state of the art. After stacking reclaimed wood planks into solid blocks, an industrial robotic arm mills the blocks into their final geometries with paths for the subsequent reiforcement with fibres. The reclaimed wood planks store carbon and contribute to a positive ecological balance, whereas carbon is re-combined as minimal amounts of high tech fibres, strategically placed to enhance the capacity of the wood planks.
Kev Sib Tw Tsim Qauv: Reclaimed wood simultaneously diverts waste and reduces the energy by forgoing the effort needed to obtain virgin materials. The finishing and fabrication contribute to making a durable, robust piece of furniture sequestering carbon for longer and reducing the need for replacements. Finally augmenting the performance of wood beyond its inherent structural capacity increases the potential range of use so it can be used differently for both industrial design and architecture.
Kev Tshawb Fawb: The bench design highlights the expertise present in large-scale furniture carpentry in a combination of experienced labor with new forms of craft, digital calibration and robotic fabrication. By augmenting the reclaimed wood with carbon fibers, the project proves that small amounts of high-performance materials can be used alongside carbon-negative wood elements. This new design direction increases productivity and sustainability through the use of new design and manufacturing technologies.
Kev Txhawb Siab: Juxtaposing old, weathered hardwood with precise smooth carving and high-tech carbon fiber gives the piece a unique character. This novel expression fuses high tech carving, patina, natural wood grain, digitally designed weaving patterns and precise manufacturing. This points towards an optimized, calibrated future of sustainable design and recalls vernacular traditions of textile and wood construction. Lashing, wood joinery and timber frames act as both cultural and technological precedents.
Lub Sij Hawm Ua Hauj Lwm: Conversations started in late December 2016, and the design was completed in November 2018 and installed on the grounds of Mapletree Business City 2, Singapore
Txheej Txheem Ua Hauj Lwm: Initiated by the opportunity to reuse wood decking boards the project leverages high performance materials and new techniques to renew the old materials and create a sustaining piece of furniture. An elongated pattern of tightly wound carbon fiber strands rest within robotically carved groves to hold the massive stack of blocks together. Precise, continuous curvature combined with tapered edges form a comfortable low-profile object that looks lightweight despite being 140kg
