Abstract

In this research project, the working process of carpenters using a CNC joinery robot was observed, documented and evaluated on the basis of a small building, the 'Werkraum Häuschen'. Designed as a building made of traditional timber joints, the entire construction was produced on a modern CNC joinery system. Under aspects such as the utilization of mono materials, simplified disassembly and reuse, as well as the need for later deconstructability, the wooden knots proved to be functional and resilient. According to interviews with the craftsmen, not only the skills of experienced carpenters but also the advantages of a modern CNC-joinery machine contributed significantly to the success of the project.
