| In response to the growing interest in sustainable and material-efficient architectural solu- tions, this study focuses on innovative applications of engineered timber in lightweight structural systems. It investigates the material optimization and structural performance of engineered timber thin-shell structures through an integrated parametric design approach. The study compares three prefabricated, panelized building systems, gridshell, segmented full-plate shell, and ribbed shell, to evaluate their efficiency in terms of material intensity, stiffness, and geometric behavior. Using Rhinoceros and Grasshopper environments with Karamba3D, Kiwi3D, and Kangaroo plugins, a comprehensive parametric workflow was developed that integrates geometric modeling, structural analysis, and material evalua- tion. The results show that segmented ribbed shell and two segmented gridshell variants offer up to 70% reduction in material usage compared with full-plate segmented timber shells, with hybrid timber shells achieving the best balance between stiffness and mass, offering functional advantages (roofing without additional load). These findings highlight the potential of parametric and computational design methods to enhance both the envi- ronmental efficiency (LCA) and digital fabrication readiness of timber-based architecture. The study contributes to the ongoing development of computational timber architecture, emphasizing the role of design-to-fabrication strategies in sustainable construction and the digital transformation of architectural practice. |
