The consolidation of environmental awareness, the emergence of new high-performance
structural timber products – such as micro-laminates, cross-laminates -, and the development of
new digital technologies (design, structural analysis, fabrication), are determining revolutionary
changes in the contemporary architectural panorama, in which timber has reappeared as a
sustainable and technological material, that is able to satisfy the most innovative architectural
demands, such as high-rise constructions, large-scale shells and complex geometries. Being the
result of recent developments in the field, the topic in its new complexity is not included in the
regular curricula of most schools of architecture.

In the field of digital design and fabrication technologies and its applications in Architecture, the
University of Sevilla (Spain) incorporates a relevant facility in the Spanish context. This is Fab Lab
Sevilla (Digital Fabrication Laboratory Higher Technical School of Architecture University of
Sevilla), that takes part in the global Fab Lab Network, lead by the Center of Bits and Atoms
(CBA) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). This facility is equipped with CC
(Computer Controlled) machinery capable of prototyping structural timber models, in reduced and
real scales.

The communication presents the educational experience developed in the course entitled
Architectural Design and Digital Fabrication of Timber Structures which was offered to students of
the Higher Technical School of Architecture, University of Sevilla, during the 2012/2013 academic
year. The course was developed in collaboration with the Fab Lab, in collaboration with Fab Lab
Sevilla offering students access to knowledge that extended the regular curriculum as well as the
possibility to experiment hands-on with digital fabrication processes.

Learning techniques deployed in the course will be described, including tutored self-learning and
collaborative learning, supported by information exchange on a dedicated web platform; and
learning based on the idea of reverse engineering and re-engineering using case studies of a
range of contemporary timber architectural structures. Case studies included development of
parametric models for each of the buildings and fabrication of structural scale models using CC
machinery. Quality control of the course development, through students surveys during the
course, and evaluation practices, including collective evaluation, will be discussed as well.
Considerations on the incorporation of digital fabrication tools to the study of architectural timber
structures will be presented.

Eventually, factors affecting the exceptional motivation of students participating in the course will
be analyzed; motivation which was confirmed by the high-quality exhibition showing the course
production that was shown at the Higher Technical School of Architecture main hall for a three
months period, as well as by the publication of results derived from the course in various media.
Keywords: timber structures, fab lab, digital design, digital fabrication, reverse engineering,
