Misfit Wood Architecture - the use of natural shaped wood in architecture and construction
The PhD research explores the potential of a new architectural style using "whole wood" or 鈥渕isfit wood鈥 a minimally processed or unprocessed natural wood that doesn鈥檛 fit the requirements of standard timber. Building on the concept of Little Finlandia, where pine treetops鈥攖ypically discarded for pulp or energy鈥攚ere used as structural elements, the study investigates how underutilized wood material can contribute to architecture aesthetically, structurally, and environmentally.
