About Universal Timber Slab Project

In the UniversalTimberSlab project, a multidisciplinary team of young researchers from the University of Stuttgart is developing innovative computational design methods and robotic fabrication processes to develop and construct a resource-saving building system for wood floor slabs. The tailor-made, high-performance plate structure is point-supported and provides architects and engineers with full design freedom, as it is only known from conventional reinforced concrete slabs. The new system is particularly interesting for buildings in city centres as the slabs can not only be adjusted to any shape of the site but can also be constructed 30% slimmer than alternative wood floor slabs. The Universal Timber Slab is a research project funded under the EIC pathfinder programme by the European Innovation Council.
