Chair of Timber Construction

Laboratory

The Wood Construction Laboratory (IBOIS) at EPFL focuses on developing innovative and sustainable timber construction solutions. They work with a wide range of timber products, from natural wood to engineered materials like Laminated Veneer Lumbers. Research areas include augmented carpentry, robotic assembly of timber structures, and design-to-fabrication workflows. Ongoing projects involve automation, digitalization, and computational methods in advanced timber structures, as well as woodworking joints and assembly methods for free-form timber elements. The team at IBOIS, led by Associate Professor Yves Weinand, is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of timber construction through interdisciplinary collaboration and cutting-edge technology.
