Wooden
Architecture and design projects that feature wood as a primary material or structural element.
Wood remains a fundamental material in contemporary design and architecture, valued for its structural properties, aesthetic qualities, and sustainability. Projects in this topic explore how wood functions across scales, from furniture to buildings, and how it responds to different environmental and programmatic contexts.
The community examines wooden construction through residential architecture, public pavilions, and institutional projects. Work here investigates wood's role alongside other materials, its performance in varied climates and landscapes, and its capacity to define both intimate and expansive spaces.
