Über dieses Buch

The background of this research is related to innovative lightweight construction methods for short-term applications realized with highly recyclable materials produced from renewable resources. Specifically, the possibility of using selected paper-based products for design purposes is examined. The main topic discussed regards the state of the art and future potential of joining techniques for assemblies and structures designed with paper-based products. In this context, the preference on paper-tubes for a variety of designs is examined closely. A collection of case studies for selected joining techniques supported with digital tools, fabrication of prototypes and targeted structural experiments demonstrates possibilities and considerations. This book presents the research process and aims to inspire architects, designers and engineers who are eager to discuss on material innovation and the steps that need to be taken to examine the feasibility of such ideas.

Chapter 2. Joining Techniques - State of the Art

Abstract

This chapter aims to develop a ‘state of the art’ for the subject of joining techniques for paper-based structures and to consider further possibilities influenced by common assembly methods and building practices. As building with paper is a novel subject, prior to the review, an introduction regarding the selection of realized design and construction projects, as an integral part of this review, is made.

Chapter 3. Global Structural Analysis

Abstract

The global objective of the studies elaborated in this chapter is to support the experimental approach of this research, with the creation of context for the case studies that are presented in Chap. 4 and by discussing alternative structural systems.

Chapter 4. Case Studies

Abstract

In this chapter the experimental research on a variety of joining techniques for beam-structures composed of paper-tubes is presented. The aim is to generate answers for the third research question (and its sub-questions): ‘Which joining techniques show the best potential for small scale tubular structures, to be used as a temporary living space, considering the aspects of design, assembly, stability, materialization and production?’. The environment for these experimental investigations, on multi-axial connections, is already described in paragraph 3.3.2 ‘Selection of specific context for the case studies’. Yet, in section ‘guidelines’, in the start of this chapter and also paragraph 4.2, the perspective of the investigations is further clarified.
