T.I.T. – Timber in Tension is an experimental structure developed during the two-term seminar Data Informed Structures, by 21 students.

The structure is constrcucted of standard timber cross sections that create a network of tensile elements, which provide a shaded public space for socializing.

The structural concept is based on timber strips used in tension, which is the ideal way for wood to transfer loads (in the direction of its fibres) but requires consideration of geometry and detailing.
