About Discussions Projects26 Journals7

Timber represents a renewable alternative to conventional building materials, offering designers opportunities to integrate sustainable practices with structural innovation. The material's versatility supports both traditional craft and digital fabrication approaches in modern construction.

The community examines timber through projects ranging from mass timber housing systems and circular construction methods to urban residential interventions. Work explores how wood-based solutions can address contemporary challenges in sustainable building, material reuse, and integration with emerging technologies.

غوټه- The Knot

The غوټه is designed in such a way that it intentionally separates the identity of the widows from everyone that lives outside the center. It is like the center is proclaiming, “Only the ones that reside within me will be intimate with my secrets.” It upgrades the value of its war-torn widows by sharing with them the experience of life within the center.

RailArches

The project seeks to enhance the void by framing it as a common ground for new conditions, maintaining the spirit as a time pocket within the changing urban fabric. Overgrown & patinated existing qualities which are preserved and captured by a new arcade-like structure, repeated and staggered through the site, creating a non-specific intervention.
