DESCRIPTION:
- -THE WOOD
PRODUCTS INDUSTRY IS INTERESTED IN NEW AND CREATIVE USES OF WOOD IN THE
FIELD OF ARCHITECTURE. MY FELLOW STUDENTS AND I COMPETED IN A COMPETITION
SPONSORED BY THIS GROUP. I SELECTED TO DESIGN A SHADE STRUCTURE, WIND RESEARCH
CENTER, AND WOOD RESEARCH FACILITY. I WAS INSPIRED BY BOTH THE SPECTACULAR
LANDSCAPE AND THE PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF VARIOUS TYPES OF WOOD PRODUCTS.
THE ULTIMATE CHALLENGE WAS TO DESIGN A STRUCTURE WHICH BOTH IS PLEASING
TO THE EYE AND ARCHITECTURALLY SIGNIFICANT.
