Scott Holmes | Looking Out Wood Tectonics

The joinery of wood has been explored for thousands of years. There are multiple ways of making every type of connection with wood. The material's intensive use in architecture over an extended period of time has allowed for new construction technologies to be discovered through wood. Both in joinery with itself and with other materials have been mastered and there will always be an endless amount of precedents for new ways of wood connection and tectonics. Almost any form can be found through wood. This is a product of not only the joinery but the versatile nature of the material. Its ability to bend, connect, glue, form fit, and strengthen allows for an array of uses.
