A panel hosted by the MIT Energy Initiative discussed areas where new or improved technologies or systems are needed to meet the ambitious goals set by governments around the globe, including the United States, to achieve net-zero emissions of greenhouse gases by mid-century.
The final step involves the assembly of the available forks and linear elements to build the structure. The tree-fork-based joints are all irregular, and combining them with the pre-cut, straight wooden elements could be difficult; however, they’re all labelled.
Forks in tree trunks and branches are exceptionally strong, yet they are rejected in timber construction because they are not straight. Using digital and computational methods, MIT researchers have developed an approach that enables architects to use discarded tree forks as load-bearing joints in their structures.
