Mass Timber Construction Podcast Special Guest - Kai Strehlke - Curved Mass Timber

Kai Strehlke joined Lehmann Timber Code AG in 2015 where he began
working on the interface between digital data and CNC
manufacturing of large scale timber structures. In 2019 Kai
presented a timber sculpture in the municipality of Urbach, 
the 14-metre-high Urbach Tower whose timber panels took on their
striking form themselves. Kai was also instrumental in working on
the Swatch headquarters in Biel. The building was designed by the
Japanese architect Shigeru Ban. With the aid of parametric
planning and highly precise production, logistics and
installation, the spectacular  Cambridge Mosque was
delivered. The mosque also comprises a café, two apartments and
gardens. The architectural concept was developed by London-based
firm Marks Barfield Architects. 

In this episode, I talk to Kai about timber forms, glue types,
the use of the natural torsion in the timber to allow the
structure to take on a life of their own. Please enjoy my
conversation with Kai.
