Wood and Concrete
Architectural projects and design work that pair timber and concrete, from residences and campuses to hospitality and garden spaces.
Wood and concrete offer contrasting properties: concrete provides mass, thermal stability and structural span, while timber contributes warmth, tactility and a lighter carbon footprint. Designers combine the two to balance durability with human scale and material character.Member work under this topic includes residential houses in Brazil and Mexico, a campus concept, a coffee shop and resort projects, many of which place built forms within natural settings. The entries show how these materials are used to frame landscape, light and circulation.
