About Discussions Projects10 Journals39

Reclaimed timber offers designers a material with environmental and aesthetic qualities rooted in reuse and material history. Projects in this topic explore how salvaged wood can be integrated into contemporary architecture and landscape design, from residential buildings to institutional facilities.

The community examines reclaimed timber across scales and typologies: residential towers and houses that prioritize the material's structural and visual properties, landscape interventions that incorporate timber into site healing and restoration, and specialized facilities designed around the material's performance and character.

Healing Façade

Based on the belief of forest churches in the chain of interdependence between humans and non-humans, the proposal is a feasible, modular and replicable facade to address the gap made by unsustainable human actions. Through fibers, the façade catches water from the wind to protect vegetation and foster conditions for reforestation and landscape restoration.

Overstory

To build in Kayamandi - in a biosphere reserve with limited water resources - a winery of the future must foreground sensibility toward both nature and culture. “Overstory” investigates how the architecture of a roof canopy shared by building and nature can play an active role in mediating – and perhaps remediating – the native ecologies of this landscape.

TIMBERATE - AMSTERDAM

CONSIDERING THE FLOOR-PLANNING AND THE COMPOSITION OF UNITS, TWO MAIN IDEAS ARE RELEVANT FOR THE CONCEPT : 1. A BIG VARIETY OF LIVING SPACES IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE IMPORTANT CONCERNING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WAYS OF LIVING AND WORK. 2. THIS BANDWIDTH OF AND BARRIER-FREE CONSTRUCTION ARE STANDARDS FOR DECADES, BUT REALITY STILL IS FAR AWAY.
