Abstract

SALVAӘƎ presents “the plaza”, the customised part of the trail project. However, the entire structure follows a timber-only concept, where only wooden nails are used to connect the salvaged timber boards. The aspect of utmost importance is the connection detail, which is addressed in our experimental and analytical studies on connections with wooden nails.

The fabrication of the structure was integrated as a practical part of the multidisciplinary design-build course, Structures and Architecture: Informed Structures at Aalto University. Special thanks to the dedicated students Elettra Cremonesi, Jolien Crum, Lorenzo Giordano, Kertu Jõeste, Lassi Liimatainen, Gabrielle Nicolas and Olímpia Solà Inaraja who participated in the course and workshop led by Günther H. Filz and Gengmu Ruan.
