The background of this research is related to innovative lightweight construction methods for short-term applications realized with highly recyclable materials produced from renewable resources. Specifically, the possibility of using selected paper-based products for design purposes is examined. The main topic discussed regards the state of the art and future potential of joining techniques for assemblies and structures designed with paper-based products. In this context, the preference on paper-tubes for a variety of designs is examined closely. A collection of case studies for selected joining techniques supported with digital tools, fabrication of prototypes and targeted structural experiments demonstrates possibilities and considerations. This book presents the research process and aims to inspire architects, designers and engineers who are eager to discuss on material innovation and the steps that need to be taken to examine the feasibility of such ideas.
