Memoria del proyecto: http://wecbc.smallboxcms.com/database/rte/files/Tall%20Wood.pdf

El Edificio para las Oficinas Tamedia, diseñado por Shigeru Ban Architects. La obra, compuesta totalmente en base a secciones prefabricadas de madera, propone un complejo y arriesgado sistema de uniones en base a cortes y ensamblajes prolijamente ejecutados.

During the recent visit to Parqueteam in Tel Aviv, we had a chance to explore some recent innovative work by some top-level Israeli design studios. The ideas and inspiration presented by Tesler Mendelovitch here give insights into how designers work with materials. The studio is organised as a textile design and development team.

While translucency is not a characteristic normally associated with wood, an installation in Minnesota's Bigelow Chapel demonstrates the warmth and radiance that translucent wood can bring to an environment. The sanctuary's curving and undulating wood panels are made from a quilted big-leaf maple tree that was harvested in America's Pacific Northwest.

Who doesn't love a good bit of wood? All but the exceptionally dogmatically modernist architects love its warmth and ease of use. It's naturally attractive to most people: it feels good. There are tens of thousands of different wood types, of which around 1,000 are used commercially.
