The product of a multi-year creative collaboration between Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) and University of Michigan Taubman College, led by professors Tsz Yan Ng and Wes McGee, the SPLAM [SPatial LAMinated timber] pavilion showcases the potential for prefabricated timber framing panels using robotic technology to advance more sustainable and efficient methods of design and construction.
Spatial-laminated timber (SLT) proposes an evolution of conventional framing systems, using an optimized timber structure. The pavilion, unveiled on September 17 at the opening of the Chicago Architecture Biennial, is a full-scale prototype of a single-story SLT structural framing system used in mid-rise...
