Timber Fan most important show project at Shanghai Design Week
Timber Fan, the Assemblages Design Build Intensive Studio project was exhibited at Shanghai Design Week this fall and was chosen by the UNESCO Creative City Organization as the most important show project.
This installation was the final project from a design-fabricate studio taught at UBC to students of Southeast University and University of British Columbia in Summer 2014. The course was taught by AnnaLisa Meyboom (Asst Prof UBC SALA), Blair Satterfield (Asst Prof UBC SALA) in collaboration with Han Xiaofeng (Assoc Prof SEU), Zhu Lei (Assoc Prof SEU), Bao Li (Associate. Prof).
This studio is part of a greater effort to re-introduce Chinese designers to the use of wood, a renewable and highly sustainable building material.

ICD Stuttgart Lecture & Workshop
Oliver Kreig and David Correa from Achim Menges’ Institute for Computational Design will be at UBC to give a lecture and workshop Sept 12-14 at UBC on Machinic Morphospaces in Timber Construction. 
Digital Design & Construction of Timber Structures – Lecture
AnnaLisa lectured at the Digital Design & Construction of Timber Structures Symposium at the Center of Advanced Wood Processing at UBC
Large Scale Timber Shell Structures
Just awarded a grant with collaborators Prof Thomas Tannert (Civil/Wood Sciences UBC), Prof Oliver Neumann (SALA UBC) and Iain Macdonald (CAWP) to research the design and fabrication of large scale timber shell structures using advanced fabrication methods.
I hope this expands the perception of wood in the world to make it the material of choice for curved architectural design. Renewable and easily fabricated with today’s advanced technology. Read more under Research.

Timber fabrication projects
Completed in research courses led by Oliver Neumann and myself, these projects are designed and then built on site by students. The projects are fabricated with a Hundegger which does 3 dimensional CAD controlled cuts to create exact jointing of timber elements to each other. Tolerances on the timber are mm (not so on the foundations on site!).
