Exhibition Techtonics - Wood Connections

These are just a few examples of wood connections from the firm Designtoproduction. They utilize one standard connection piece for a series of differently angled pieces. Depending upon our capabilities with the router we have access to, this may be a good way to utilize a single connector type to join an infinite number of joints.

Libeskind's Futuropolis was designed by Daniel Lideskind and realized by the DesigntoProduction firm. This installation uses similar joints to that of the Swissbau Pavilion. More detailed images of the connection can be seen at [http://www.designtoproduction.com]
